Are There Environmental Factors That Affect the Posterior Pituitary?
Environmental toxins, such as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), can have significant impacts on the posterior pituitary gland. Chemicals found in plastics, like bisphenol A (BPA), can mimic the body's hormones and disrupt the normal functioning of the endocrine system. Long-term exposure to such substances may lead to altered hormone levels and associated health problems.
