Both positive and negative associations have been reported in the past. This study finds an association with exogenous estrogen (specifically two drugs, DES and premarin) and testicular cancer risk. It also finds an association with maternal estrogen exposure, specifically in that factors thought to decrease maternal estrogen (e.g., cigarette smoking) are negatively associated with risk. more at http://www.ourstolenfuture.org ---------- www.tmc.tulane.edu/ecme/eehome ---------- http://website.lineone.net/~mwarhurst/ Introduction: These pages provide an introduction to the effects of hormone disrupting chemicals on man and the environment. Other terms used to describe these chemicals include xenoestrogens, oestrogenic (estrogenic), hormone mimicking and endocrine disrupting chemicals. The chemicals involved include pesticides such as DDT, lindane and atrazine, the food packaging chemicals, phthalates and bisphenol A, alkylphenol ethoxylate detergents and the chemical industry by-products, dioxins. These pages are aimed at anyone interested in the subject, and include references to other research and reviews for those interested in investigating the field further. The pages focus particularly on those chemicals which are not organochlorines, but some information is also provided on organochlorines. ------ WHATıS NEW ON CBRıS ENVIRONMENTAL ESTROGENS AND OTHER HORMONES WEB SITE APRIL 2000 ****************************************************** Environmental Estrogens and Other Hormones web site http://www.tmc.tulane.edu/ecme/eehome Environmental Concepts Made Easy web site http://www.tmc.tulane.edu/ecme Center for Bioenvironmental Research at Tulane and Xavier Universities ****************************************************** o ANNOUNCEMENTS http://www.tmc.tulane.edu/ECME/eehome/
