Numerous epidemiological studies link exposure to Bisphenol A (BPA) to reproductive function anomalies. Our team recently showed that BPA inhibits the action of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) on its receptor (FSHR). Water decontamination is achieved by chloration, which leads to the formation of chlorinated derivatives of Bisphenol A (ClXBPA), that may be found in natural environments and biological liquids or organs. In the presence of bromine, the formation of...

Introduction: The syndrome of reduced sensitivity to thyroid hormone (SRSTH) due to mutations of thyroid hormone receptor β (TRB) consists of an inappropriate secretion of TSH with elevated levels of thyroid hormones. Cardiovascular manifestations are often the ones that affect patients. Our aim was to evaluate the cardiac and vascular characteristics of patients with SRSTH due to TRB mutations.Materials and methods: We analysed cl...
