The biological organisms are complex systems regulated by the homeostatic back-end network. In these days the growing environmental loads (from industry, household, etc.) contain chemical exposure eg. halogenated hydrocarbons (monuron: MU (C9H11ClN2O), diuron: DU (C9H10Cl2N2O)), which can be endocrine disruptor compounds (EDCs). Synthesis, release of hormones and cell processes of endocrine cells, and...

Introduction: Endocrine disruptor compounds (EDCs) are chemicals that may interfere with the endocrine system and produce adverse developmental, reproductive, neurological and immune effects.These agents can be found in household, in the industry and in our environment.Endocrine disruptors are substances that interfere with the synthesis, secretion, transport, binding, action, or elimination of natural hormones in the body that are responsible for development, behavio...
