We tested some resin-based composites used in dentistry for their estrogenic activity. A
sealant based on bisphenol-A diglycidylether methacrylate (bis-GMA) increased cell yields, …

We present data showing that some foods preserved in lacquer-coated cans and the liquid
in them may acquire estrogenic activity. Hormonal activity was measured using the E-screen …

The chemical structure of hydroxylated diphenylalkanes or bisphenols consists of two phenolic
rings joined together through a bridging carbon. This class of endocrine disruptors that …

The development of reliable gene expression profiling technology is having an increasing
impact on our understanding of lung cancer biology. Our study aimed to determine any …

Most of the composites and sealants used in dentistry are based on bisphenol A diglycidylether
methacrylate (Bis-GMA). Reports revealed that in situ polymerization is not complete and …

MCF7 human breast cancer cells have been studied extensively as a model for hormonal
effects on breast cancer cell growth and specific protein synthesis. Because the proliferative …

Objective: The present study aimed to determine whether the combined effects of environmental
estrogens measured as the total effective xenoestrogen burden (TEXB-alpha) are a risk …

In many epidemiological studies based on the direct measurement of exposure to
organochlorines, the chemicals of concern are determined directly from adipose tissue samples. …

To analyse the link between breast cancer and the combined effect of environmental
xenoestrogens, we developed, standardised and applied a biomarker of exposure to assess the …

The success of radiotherapy in eradicating tumours depends on the total radiation dose, but
what limits this dose is the tolerance of the normal tissues within the treatment volume. …
