sustancias disruptoras endocrinas
Scope note: Agentes exógenos, sintéticos o naturales, capaces de alterar las funciones del SISTEMA ENDOCRINO, que incluye el mantenimiento de la HOMEOSTASIS y la regulación de los procesos del desarrollo. Los disruptores endocrinos son compuestos que pueden comportarse como HORMONAS, o favorecer o bloquear la unión de las hormonas a sus receptores o, por lo demás, activar o inhibir las vías de transducción de señales endocrinas y el metabolismo hormonal.

Scope note: Exogenous agents, synthetic and naturally occurring, which are capable of disrupting the functions of the ENDOCRINE SYSTEM including the maintenance of HOMEOSTASIS and the regulation of developmental processes. Endocrine disruptors are compounds that can mimic HORMONES, or enhance or block the binding of hormones to their receptors, or otherwise lead to activating or inhibiting the endocrine signaling pathways and hormone metabolism.
