Endocrine disruptors can affect the body in various ways: - Mimicking Natural Hormones: Some disruptors can bind to hormone receptors and mimic the effects of natural hormones. For example, BPA can act like estrogen in the body. - Blocking Hormones: Certain chemicals can block hormone receptors, preventing natural hormones from binding and exerting their effects. - Altering Hormone Levels: Some disruptors can affect the synthesis, transport, and elimination of hormones, leading to imbalances.
