Endocrine Disruptor Impact

Meaning

Endocrine Disruptor Impact refers to the measurable adverse effects on the hormonal system and overall physiological function caused by exposure to Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs). EDCs are exogenous substances that interfere with the synthesis, secretion, transport, metabolism, binding, or elimination of natural hormones in the body. Clinically, this impact can manifest as subtle yet profound changes in fertility, metabolism, thyroid function, and neurodevelopment across the lifespan. Understanding and mitigating this impact is a critical aspect of preventive hormonal health and longevity.
