EDART LAB
The Endocrine Disruption and Reproductive Toxicology (EDART) Laboratory is focused on analysing the acute and chronic effects of EDCs in zebrafish, and rat models.
Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are exogenous substances that interfere with hormone action and contribute to the development of endocrine and metabolic diseases. EDCs are commonly present in cosmetics, household cleaning products, plastic materials, toys, pesticides, paints, etc. It can contribute to multiple effects, such as developmental, metabolic, reproductive, and neurotoxic effects.
