Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals-induced Metabolic Disorders and Treatment Strategies

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 parthogenesisof EDCs-induced metabolic disorders. The book is divided into three parts. Part Idescribes the physiology of the human endocrine system, with special emphasis on various types of metabolic disorders along with risk factors that are responsible for the development of these disorders. Part II addresses all aspects of EDCs, includingtheir role in the induction of various risk factors that are responsible for the development of metabolic disorders. Part III covers up-to-date environmental regulatory considerations andtreatment strategies that have been adopted to cure and prevent EDCs-induced metabolic disorders. This section will primarily appeal toclinicians investigating the causes and treatment of metabolic disorders. The text will also be of interest to students and researchers in thefields of Environmental Pharmacology and Toxicology, Environmental Pollution, Pharmaceutical Biochemistry, Biotechnology, and Drug Metabolism/Pharmacokinetics.
