Metabolism; Endocrinology

Environmental Contaminants and Endocrine Health focuses specifically on contaminants with hormonal disrupting activities. The book provides insights into the multiple effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and their mechanism of action (MoA) on metabolism, reproduction and the multiple physiological roles of the endocannabinoid system which has recently been indicated as new target. The content systematically covers EDC sources and effects, EDCs as sources of disease and health impairment in laboratory models, EDCs as the cause of disease and health impairment in humans and wild species, and the removal of hazardous pollutants from wastewaters to highlight intervention, mitigation and adaptation for reduced threat.

This content will be a foundational resource for academic and research staff in endocrinology and hormone toxicology as well as for professors, researchers and students in these areas.

Dr. Oliana Carnevali, PhD, Professor of Developmental Biology, Polytechnic University of Marche, Italy Dr. Carnevali’s research focuses on reproductive and developmental biology of fish models. Her focus is on the effects of probiotics on fish welfare. Her group also has substantial interest in reproductive toxicology to monitor environmental risk. A wide spectrum of aspects such as embryo development, reproduction, energy metabolism, immune system and genotoxic aspects, on different fish models are evaluated. She is a partner of the BioMedAqu project, supervisor of ESR10, a project focusing on skeletal pathologies in human and fish providing evidence on the effects of micronutrients and probiotics in bone cell differentiation in fish. In addition, the in vivo effects of vitamins and probiotic by parental and larval exposure on skeletal formation will be tested on zebrafish, seabream and meagre. A multidisciplinary approach including transcriptomic, histology, cell biology, infrared micro spectrometry and Raman, will be used. Dr. Gary Hardiman, PhD, Professor, Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Sciences, School of Biological Sciences, Queen’s University, Ireland Dr. Hardman works in the field of systems biology the objective of which is the study of biological systems, including genes, RNAs, proteins, metabolites and cells in a focused manner, and organs, organisms and populations in a broader context. Areas of research focus include studying the effects of man-made contaminants on marine and human health; studying prostate cancer in the context of racial differences and nutritional deficiency; examining the impacts of long term space travel – specifically the effects of nutrition, torpor, space radiation and microgravity on hepatic and intestinal biology; developing a rat model of opioid abuse to better understand the biological basis for substance abuse disorders and advance development of preventive strategies and more efficacious treatments; and developing a robust toolkit for better integration of Omics data sets into genotype-phenotype predictions. He maintains active research collaborations with groups in the USA, Italy, Ireland and Scotland.

Reviews for Environmental Contaminants and Endocrine Health

""This book’s goal is to provide an overview of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that lead to endocrine disorders and impact humans and wildlife. The purpose is to highlight the many factors and chemicals that play a role in possible endocrine disorders in humans and wildlife, ways to dispose of such chemicals, and current trends. The book does meet this worthy objective in that it provides many references as well as studies and real-life examples… One aspect of the book that is very useful and well done is that it gives approaches to investigate chemicals that may impact people then provides a study and survey to convey those points. It also goes into depth on common diseases that these chemicals may affect."" --©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Michael ShiFeng Gong, M.D (Mayo Graduate School of Medicine)
