The purpose of this study was to compare endocrine-mediated effects of bisphenol A related compounds, 2,2-bis(4-cyanatophyenyl)propane and 4,4'-cyclohexylidenebisphenol with reference to OECD Test Guideline No. 407. Rats were orally gavaged with 0, 4, 20, and 100 mg/kg/day of 2,2-bis(4-cyanatophyenyl)propane, and 0, 30, 100, and 300 mg/kg/day of 4,4'-cyclohexylidenebisphenol for at least 28 days beginning at 8 weeks of age. Endocrine-mediated effects were not observed in rats given 2,2-bis(4-cyanatophyenyl)propane. Male accessory sex organ weights decreased in the 4,4'-cyclohexylidenebisphenol 300 mg/kg group and serum T4 values increased in all male groups treated with this compound. Our results suggest that endocrine-mediated changes caused by the present bisphenol related compound can be divided into estrogenic or thyroid hormonal effects, and estrogenic effects observed in the repeated-dose study were related to their estrogenic potency confirmed by uterotrophic assay.

Adipose tissue (AT) serves as an energy-capacitive organ and performs functions involving paracrine- and endocrine-mediated regulation via extracellular vesicles (EVs) secretion. Exosomes, a subtype of EVs, contain various bioactive molecules with regulatory effects, such as nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids. AT-derived exosomes (AT-exos) include exosomes derived from various cells in AT, including adipocytes, adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), macrophages, and endothelial cells.

Many cancers, including glioblastoma (GBM), have a male-biased sex difference in incidence and outcome. The underlying reasons for this sex bias are unclear but likely involve differences in tumor cell state and immune response. This effect is further amplified by sex hormones, including androgens, which have been shown to inhibit anti-tumor T cell immunity.

New tools and refined frameworks for identifying and regulating endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are being developed as our scientific understanding of how they work advances. Although focus has largely been on organic chemicals, the potential for metals to act as EDCs in aquatic systems is receiving increasing attention. Metal interactions with the endocrine system are complicated because some metals are essential to physiological systems, including the endocrine system, and nonessential metals can have similar physiochemical attributes that allow substitution into or interference with these systems.

The medial preoptic area (mPOA) in the hypothalamus is an important integrator of neuroendocrine signaling and a key regulator of both natural and drug-induced reward. Although the mPOA modulates sex differences in other behaviors, whether it also modulates sex differences in cocaine response remains unclear. To help us better understand the mPOA's role in sex differences associated with cocaine response, we examined cocaine-induced changes in locomotion and neural activity in the mPOA of male and female rats.
