Download or read book Ovarian Toxicology written by Patricia B. Hoyer and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-04-08 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, there has been an alarming increase in environmental by-products that may be harmful to ovarian function. Along with this dangerous situation, the modern trend toward delaying motherhood poses immediate concerns regarding the long-term impact of environmental risks on human fertility. The uncertainty of our reproductive future intensifies the need for a single reference that investigates the chemicals with the potential to jeopardize fertility. The only known text that deals specifically with toxicity in the ovary, Ovarian Toxicology updates our current understanding of the effects of environmental chemicals on ovarian function. This new title in the Target Organ Toxicology Series presents an overview of ovarian physiology, examines the key ovarian target sites, assesses the effects of specific chemicals demonstrated in animal studies, and evaluates related human epidemiological data. Featuring the most complete review available of ovarian metabolism of xenobiotics, chapters also discuss ovarian cancer and modeling and testing for ovarian effects. With its clear handling of data and issues that are crucial to fertility studies, this comprehensive exploration of ovarian toxicology identifies the realistic risks for damage that our environment has the potential to inflict. It will be welcomed by toxicologists and ovarian physiologists, those in the pharmaceutical industries and regulatory agencies, and postgraduate researchers striving to safeguard women's fertility and ensure our reproductive future.

Download or read book Bisphenol A written by Pinar Erkekoglu and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2017-06-07 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bisphenol A (BPA) is a synthetic compound for hardening and clearing polycarbonate plastics. BPA is mainly classified as an estrogen-like endocrine-disrupting chemical. In the last decade, attention has arisen in scientific communities that it is not safe to use this chemical in mainly polycarbonate plastics. Exposure to BPA starts in prenatal period, which is the critical period for its toxic effects on different organs. Throughout this book, the readers will obtain information on the effects of BPA on different systems. They will also get information on the prenatal and postnatal effects of BPA. We believe that readers will get qualified scientific knowledge and a general overview of the toxic effects of BPA exposure and its consequences from this book.
Download or read book Metals Fertility and Reproductive Toxicity written by Mari S. Golub and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2005-11-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental endocrine disruptors have been at the heart of discussions about chemicals and their effects on fertility, but the focus has been on organic compounds and the role of metals has been largely overlooked - until now. Taking an organ-system-based approach, Metals, Fertility, and Reproductive Toxicity examines the effects of metals found in the everyday environment on fertility rates in humans and animal populations. This volume summarizes and evaluates the literature in the area of metal effects on fertility and reproduction in humans, laboratory animals, and wildlife. International experts have contributed chapters that explore how the ovary, testes, uterine system, and neuroendocrine system, among others, respond to metal exposure. Reviewing both current knowledge and cutting edge data, the chapters focus on either a particular metal or a particular population. A massive amount of data on this subject has been generated, summarized, and reviewed over the years. While there are many books available on metals toxicity and on reproductive toxicity, no current book explores both in the same volume. Culling information from throughout the literature, Metals, Fertility, and Reproductive Toxicity supplies an in-depth look at the role of metals in endocrine disruption and the spectrum of mechanisms involving metals that can influence reproduction.
