How Do Endocrine Disruptors Affect Hormonal Balance?
Endocrine disruptors can interfere with the endocrine system in several ways. They can mimic natural hormones, leading to overstimulation of receptors, or they can block the action of hormones, preventing the normal hormonal response. Additionally, they may alter hormone production or metabolism, leading to an increase or decrease in hormone levels. These actions can result in significant health issues, including reproductive problems, developmental delays, and metabolic disorders.
