How are Endocrine Disruptors Detected and Measured?
Detecting and measuring endocrine disruptors involves a combination of in vitro and in vivo assays. In vitro assays can screen for hormone receptor binding and activation, while in vivo studies assess the effects of these chemicals in living organisms. Techniques like mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) are often used in the chemical analysis of potential disruptors.
