Uses Computational Tools to Simulate Endocrine Disruption Phenomena Endocrine Disruption Modeling provides a practical overview of the current approaches for modeling endocrine activity and the related potential adverse effects they may induce on environmental and human health. …
"Environmental chemistry is a fast developing science aimed at deciphering fundamental mechanisms ruling the behaviour of pollutants in ecosystems. Applying this knowledge to current environmental issues leads to the remediation of environmental media, and to new, low energy, lo…
Endocrine disruption represents one of the most controversial environmental issues of our time. Mounting evidence stemming from more than 10 years of experimental, epidemiological and clinical studies has transformed the once generally discounted subject of endocrine disruptors …

Hormones and reproduction of vertebrates
Birds, Volume 4 in the five-volume work Hormones and Reproduction of Vertebrates, is a reference for vertebrate endocrinologists and those studying all aspects of the biology and control of reproduction in birds. It brings together current knowledge in the field, with an emphasi…
Hormones and reproduction of vertebrates
Mammals, Volume 5 in the five-volume work Hormones and Reproduction of Vertebrates, brings together current knowledge of the reproductive endocrinology of mammals, with emphasis on synthesis rather than summation. Model species have been emphasized in some cases, balanced with d…
This volume offers a detailed and comprehensive analysis of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs), covering their occurrence, exposure to humans and the mechanisms that lead to the parthogenesis of EDCs-induced metabolic disorders. The book is divided into three parts. Part I de…
