Research from University Hospital Wurzburg Yields New Findings on Endocrinology (Disruptive effects of plasticizers bisphenol A, F, and S on steroidogenesis of adrenocortical cells).

A research study conducted at the University Hospital Wurzburg in Germany examined the effects of bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol F (BPF), and bisphenol S (BPS) on steroidogenesis in adrenocortical cells. The study found that exposure to these plasticizers led to significant alterations in steroid levels, with different bisphenols affecting different hormones. The research suggests that further studies are needed to evaluate the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals on adrenal gland functionality. This information is relevant for individuals conducting research in the fields of endocrinology and genetics. [Extracted from the article]
