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...

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...

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...
