Endocrine disruptor compounds (EDCs) may cause disorders and alter the normal hormone synthesis and/or release.Aim was to investigate the effects of EDCs on normal hypophysis regulation; particularly the arginine–vasopressine (AVP) activated ACTH release from adenohypophysis cells and the monoamine activated AVP release from neurohypophysis cells.Primary monolayer cell cultures prepared from Wistar rat hypophyses. Separated ad...

Introduction: The endocrine disruptor compounds (EDC), as persistent organic pollutant (POP) agents, have ability to interfere with endocrine systems. These properties of EDC may modify the homeostasis of biological organisms.Aim: The aim was to investigate the effects of chlorobenzenes (ClB), hexa-chlorobenzenes+2,4,6,trichloro-benzenes, with chronic exposure and extremely low doses on histamine mediated neuroendocrine functions.M...
