(Ebook) Endocrine disruptors : effects on male and female reproductive systems by Rajesh K Naz ISBN 9780849322815, 0849322812
"Endocrine Disruptors: Effects on Male and Female Reproductive Systems, Second Edition examines the reproductive and health hazards of endocrine-disrupting environmental chemicals from epidemiology to etiology, concluding with future directions. Leading authorities contribute expert analyses and up-to-date information on a topic that has become a major concern among the scientific community and the general public." "Divided into two sections, the first part of the book describes the effects of environmental toxicants on the female reproductive system, with an emphasis on the effects and mechanisms of their action on sex differentiation during development, fertility, and breast cancer. The second part addresses the effects of endocrine disruption on the male reproductive system, focusing on male fertility and the development of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer."--BOOK JACKET.
