Impacts of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals on Reproduction in Wildlife

Abstract: The European Environment Agency (The Weybridge + 15 (1996-2011) report. EEA Technical report, vol 2. Copenhagen, 2012) and the United Nations Environment programme together with the World Health Organisation (State of the science of endocrine disrupting chemicals-2012. Geneva, Switzerland) both recently published major and highly authoritative reviews of endocrine disrupting chemicals in the natural environment and their effects on reproduction and health in both humans and wildlife. One surprising conclusion … Show more

“…Fruits and vegetable represent also one of the main human exposure sources to organochlorine pesticides, dangerous compounds related with increased risk of developing several hormonally-related cancers (Lerro et al, 2015). The increasing interest in the determination of these chemicals is due to consolidated evidences underlining their role in the pathogenesis of several diseases such as cancer, obesity (Yang et al, 2015), diabetes (Chevalier and Fenichel, 2015) and reproductive pathologies (Kumar and Holt, 2015). EDCs exposure is particularly dangerous during childhood.…”

“…Sperm from dead birds, could, however, be a useful resource when trying to set up germplasm banks. It might also provide useful information regarding the physiological reproductive status of the donor, and could even be used for examining the impact of environmental pollutants on reproductive function (Kumar and Holt ).…”

“…Other known EDCs have teratogenic effects in marine invertebrate species used as sentinel species in marine biomonitoring programs, such as sea urchins, mussels, and ascidians (Dumollard et al, ; Gallo & Tosti, ; Kumar & Holt, ; Tosti & Gallo, ). However, it cannot be inferred from these studies whether the teratogenicity of the tested EDCs is caused by a mechanism akin to endocrine disruption, as none of the criteria used for establishing endocrine disruption (altered NR activity, altered hormone synthesis/degradation) have been tested.…”
