Many putative endocrine disruptors inhibit prostaglandin synthesis

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

Prostaglandins (PGs) play key roles in development and maintenance of homeostasis of the adult body. Despite these important roles, it remains unclear whether the PG pathway is a target for endocrine disruption. However, several known endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) share a high degree of structural similarity with mild analgesics.
