Endocrine disruptors: A risk to women's reproductive health.
Keywords:
Disruptores endocrinos, salud reproductiva, exposición, efectos hormonales, trastornos hormonales, evaluación de riesgos.Abstract
Endocrine disruptors (EDs) are substances that have hormonal activity and are found in the environment. They have the ability to interfere with various physiological processes in humans and animals, affecting systems such as the central nervous, endocrine, skeletal and immune systems. The objective of the research is to evaluate the impact of endocrine disruptors on women's reproductive health. The methodology consisted of a bibliographic study, using various relevant medical and scientific databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, LILACS, and Google Scholar. Endocrine disruptors interfere with this system by mimicking, blocking, or altering the production, release, transport, or elimination of natural hormones. In conclusion, exposure to endocrine disruptors represents a significant concern because of their ability to interfere with the endocrine system, which is crucial for hormone regulation and reproductive health in humans.
