Endocrine disruptors are critical environmental exposures that influence health and can promote epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of disease and abnormal physiology. Advances in 2015 included analyses of the effects of endocrine disruptors on human disease, further examples of endocrine disruptors promoting transgenerational behavioural effects, insights into effects of endocrine disruptors on epigenetic programming of primordial germ cells and the finding that endocrine disruptors can transgenerationally promote genetic mutations.
内分泌干扰物是影响健康的关键环境暴露因素,可促进疾病和异常生理的表观遗传跨代遗传。2015年的进展包括对内分泌干扰物对人类疾病影响的分析、内分泌干扰物促进跨代表型效应的更多实例、对内分泌干扰物对原始生殖细胞表观遗传编程影响的见解,以及内分泌干扰物可跨代促进基因突变的发现。
