Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in disorders of the female reproductive system, accompanied by a rise in adverse pregnancy outcomes. This trend is increasingly being linked to environmental pollution, particularly through the lens of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs). These external agents disrupt natural processes of hormones, including synthesis, metabolism, secretion, transport, binding, as well as elimination. These disruptions can significantly impair human reproductive functions. A wealth of animal studies and epidemiological research indicates that exposure to toxic environmental factors can interfere with the endocrine system's normal functioning, resulting in negative reproductive outcomes. However, the mechanisms of these adverse effects are largely unknown. This work reviews the reproductive toxicity of five major environmental EDCs-Bisphenol A (BPA), Phthalates (PAEs), Triclocarban Triclosan and Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs)-to lay a foundational theoretical basis for further toxicological study of EDCs. Additionally, it aims to spark advancements in the prevention and treatment of female reproductive toxicity caused by these chemicals.
近年来,女性生殖系统疾病显著增加,不良妊娠结局也有所上升。这种趋势越来越多地与环境污染联系在一起,尤其是从内分泌干扰物(EDCs)的角度来看。这些外部因素会扰乱激素的自然过程,包括合成、代谢、分泌、运输、结合以及排泄。这些干扰会严重损害人类生殖功能。大量的动物研究和流行病学研究表明,接触有毒环境因素会干扰内分泌系统的正常功能,导致负面的生殖结果。然而,这些不良影响的机制在很大程度上尚不清楚。这项工作综述了五种主要环境内分泌干扰物——双酚A(BPA)、邻苯二甲酸盐(PAEs)、三氯生、三氯卡班和消毒副产物(DBPs)的生殖毒性,为进一步开展内分泌干扰物的毒理学研究奠定基础理论依据。此外,其目的是推动在预防和治疗由这些化学物质引起的女性生殖毒性方面取得进展。
