Effect, Endocrine Disruptor . Effects, Endocrine Disruptor . Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals . Exogenous agents, synthetic and naturally occurring, which are capable of disrupting the functions of the ENDOCRINE SYSTEM including the maintenance of HOMEOSTASIS and the regulation of developmental processes. Endocrine disruptors are compounds that can mimic HORMONES, or enhance or block the binding of hormones to their receptors, or otherwise lead to activating or inhibiting the endocrine signaling pathways and hormone metabolism. . 0.45
Endocrine Glands. Endocrine Gland . Gland, Endocrine . Ductless glands that secrete HORMONES directly into the BLOOD CIRCULATION. These hormones influence the METABOLISM and other functions of cells in the body. . 0.44
Hormones. Hormone . Hormone Receptor Agonists . Agonists, Hormone Receptor . Receptor Agonists, Hormone . Hormones, Synthetic . Hormone Analogs . Chemical substances having a specific regulatory effect on the activity of a certain organ or organs. The term was originally applied to substances secreted by various ENDOCRINE GLANDS and transported in the bloodstream to the target organs.
