Summary: The study found that maternal exposure to parabens was associated with reproductive hormone levels and anogenital distance in male and female infants, with greater effects observed in girls and inconsistent effects in boys. This suggests potential endocrine-disrupting effects of parabens on human development, particularly in vulnerable periods.

Summary: The systematic review and meta-analysis found that exposure to some insecticides and herbicides may increase the risk of hypothyroidism, while exposure to fungicides and fumigants is not associated with hypothyroidism. Future research should focus on large-scale longitudinal epidemiological and biological studies to confirm these findings and investigate the effects of environmental exposure.

Summary: High maternal urinary levels of Glyphosate were associated with longer anoclitoral distance (AGD-AC) in female infants, while increased levels of AMPA were associated with longer anofourchette distance (AGD-AF). No significant associations were found in male infants.

Summary: The study found pesticide residues in both organic and conventional managed fields, with higher levels in conventional fields. The number and concentration of pesticide residues decreased with longer duration of organic management, indicating the positive impact of organic management on soil life.

Summary: The study assessed the relationship between urinary pesticide metabolites and hormone concentrations in adolescent males, revealing significant associations and interactions with xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes. Associations between pesticide metabolites and altered thyroid and reproductive hormones were observed, highlighting the potential impact of gene-environment interactions on individual susceptibility to pesticides and adverse health effects.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the use of AGDv and AGR as indicators for reproductive performance in dairy heifers. The results showed a negative association between AGDv and AGR and reproductive performance, suggesting that heifers with a short AGDv and small AGR were younger at first AI and at conception. Hence, both AGDv and AGR can be considered as potential indicators for reproductive performance in dairy heifers, and it is relevant to measure both AGDc and AGDv in future studies.

Summary: Prenatal exposure to DEHP can lead to transgenerational adverse effects on the male reproductive system, affecting AGD, AGI, sperm count, and DNA methylation status. Moreover, DEHP exposure also alters the methylation levels of various genes, contributing to the observed phenotypic changes across generations.

Summary: This study provides further evidence on the effects of neonatal thyroid function on reproductive development at an early life stage, particularly in female infants. Anogenital distance (AGD) has varying degrees of association with neonatal thyroid function at birth and at 6, 12, and 48 months of age.

Summary: The study found that reproductive hormone concentrations and anatomical responses in infant boys fed soy formula and cow milk formula followed similar trajectories. The findings suggest that early male reproductive development measures do not respond to phytoestrogen exposure during infancy.

Summary: A study on 147 male infants found that reproductive hormone concentrations and anatomical responses in infants fed soy formula were similar to those fed cow milk formula, while compared to breastfed infants, those fed soy formula had a more rapid increase in penile length.

Summary: The study found that most fungicides and fungicide combinations have minimal impact on bees, compared to insecticides. However, when interactions occur, fungicide-fungicide combinations are just as harmful as fungicide-insecticide interactions. Herbicides and other groups are more harmful to bees and show similar interactive effects.

Summary: The study evaluated honeybee foraging activity and cytochrome expression profiles before and after herbicide administration in agricultural environments. The results showed that larvae were more harmed than adult bees and significant differences existed between different apiaries. Additionally, positive correlations were found between pollen collection and pesticide detoxification genes, suggesting that nutrition may modify herbicide impact on honeybees.

Summary: This study analyzed the concentrations of pesticide residues in agricultural products from 2018 to 2020 using gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The effects of chronic human exposure to pesticide residues through food consumption were assessed. Based on the results, it can be considered that pesticide residues in agricultural products are properly controlled.

Summary: The study found that whey supplementation can improve the structure and function of sperm and seminal fluid, as well as serum hormonal levels in adult rats. In aged rats, whey supplementation can increase serum hormone levels and seminal antioxidant enzymes. Additionally, whey supplementation can reduce sperm abnormalities in aged rats, improve sperm motility and viability, and enhance sperm mitochondrial membrane potential.

Summary: This study investigated the toxic effects and mechanism of beta-CYP and EMB on the reproductive system of female rats. The results showed that exposure to these pesticides led to changes in hormone and gene expression in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, as well as alterations in oxidative damage indicators. The findings support the evaluation of the adverse effects of pesticide exposure on reproductive health in greenhouse operations.
