Abstract:Neurosteroidogenesis in astrocytes is crucial for the proper development and functioning of the brain. During this process, key neurohormones such as progesterone (P4), testosterone (T), and estradiol (E2) are produced. Proper production and release of neurosteroids can be affected by substances referred to as endocrine‐disrupting compounds (EDCs). Tris‐(2,3‐dibromopropyl)isocyanurate (TBC) is a representative of novel brominated flame retardants used to stop ignition or reduce fire‐related property damage to … Show more
