What are Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals?

endocrine disrupting chemicals are essentially external compounds that affect with the body's normal functioning hormones and specifically in testosterone let's think about how testosterone is made so first the pituitary which is a part of our brain gets signals from the hypothalamus that tells it to produce hormones called LH and FSH that then activate the testicles to produce testosterone so one there's a blockage that can occur right there then the LH and FSH send signals to these cells called seminiferous tubules in the testicles that then produce testosterone so ultimately endocrine disrupting chemicals can affect the body in a multitude of different ways the good news is these endocrine disrupting chemicals are generally present in really small concentrations it's typically the repeated exposure or the high amounts of exposure over time that results in problems
