  • Title: Biomonitoring of environmental estrogens in human tissues.
    Author: Fernandez MF, Molina-Molina JM, Lopez-Espinosa MJ, Freire C, Campoy C, Ibarluzea J, Torne P, Pedraza V, Olea N.
    Journal: Int J Hyg Environ Health; 2007 May; 210(3-4):429-32. PubMed ID: 17296326.
    Abstract:
    Two examples are presented for the application of the total effective xenoestrogen burden as biomarker of chemical exposure measured in tissue samples from patients recruited for two case-control studies. The first study focused on environmental chemicals with hormone mimicking activity, the so-called environmental estrogens, and their participation in the etiology of breast cancer. The second study investigated mother-child exposure to persistent organochlorine chemicals and assessed their combined effect on the risk of male urogenital malformations in the newborn.
