Study finds heavy presence of xenoestrogens in obese Portuguese women, both pre menopause and post menopause.  This study only looked at obese women; it would be nice to have a control of thin women to contrast the plasma and adipose xenoestrogen levels.  The authors found the presence of xenoestrogens in plasma in pre menopause women to be a 10 year predictor of cardiovascular disease risk in these women.  The authors also found increased Xenoestrogen levels to be associated with metabolic dysfunction and inflammation.

xenoestrogens are estrogen receptor agonists.  This is a good discussion of there interaction with xenoestrogens and particularly ER alpha.

low levels of environmental toxins add to the effective hormone levels in the body. These are in very low levels of exposure.

low dose xenoestrogen exposure increases prostate growth and future disease through fetal exposure and increased ER alpha expression.

xenoestrogen exposure has been shown to increase ER alpha and ER beta in the pituitary.

Glyphosate found to lower Testosterone in rat study.  Glyphosate is a significant xenoestrogen which acts as an endocrine disruptor.

Good review of xenoestrogens and the impact these endocrine disruptors are having on men.

good review of some of the literature pointing to the impact of environmental chemicals (xenoestrogens) and cancer

article discusses the increased estrogenic effect of the xenoestrogens found in chemical toxins.  This has serious implications in cancer that is estrogenic.

phthalates are xenoestrogens that is toxic to male reproductive health.

Bisphenol A shown to disrupt ovarian estrogen production from exposure in adults.  The point of this that is important is that BPA, a xenoestrogen, can infact disrupt physiologic hormone production in adults, and contribute to ovarian failure.  BPA, itself, is 1,000 fold weaker than E2, yet it disrupts ovarian function.

good review of current knowledge on endocrine disrupting chemicals, more commonly known as xenoestrogens.

good review of the effect of environmental xenoestrogens and low T in men.

Shock!  Glyphosphate is a xenoestrogen and promoted growth of breast cancer cells via estrogen receptors. This is only the abstract, but the glyphosate was found to "alter" the ERalpha and ERbeta expression.  These effects were found at low levels existing in the environment.

Xenoestrogens disrupt hormones, despite being very weak compared to estradiol.

Great read on the effects of bisphenol A as an xenoestrogen.  Bisphenol A is a weak estrogen, but it does increase androgen receptor and estrogen receptor alpha transcription.  This is from fetal exposure.

Study finds that men exposed to BPA have lower androstenedione and free testosterone compared to those not exposed.  Also of note, SHBG is increased, which is what one would expect with xenoestrogen exposure.

study claims that organic foods provide no additional nutritional value above non-organic foods.  Problem is, that is not the reason to push organic.  Elimination of xenoestrogens, hormones, and other toxins is.

Endocrine Disrupting chemicals, xenoestrogens, alter the hormone receptors very early. Increased estrogenic load with the change in ER increase prostate cancer.

Review of xenoestrogens and techniques for evaluation.  Brief discussion of the different EDCs is included, but the majority of the study is to evaluate the different testing techniques.
