Keywords: sugar substitute agent exposures, nutritional biology, neuroendocrine system, oxytocinHuman homeostasis is maintained by the complex functioning of the psycho-neuroendocrine-immune system. If a disturbance is generated in this neuroendocrine system for any reason, it can trigger pathogenic processes. One of the factors disturbing homeostasis today may be changes in dietary habits, e.g. through the use of undue sweeteners (e.g. stevia, xylitol e...

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...
