Background: Obesity is a major risk factor for noncommunicable diseases and is associated with a reduced life expectancy of up to 20 years, as well as with other consequences such unemployment and increased economic burden for society. It is a multifactorial disease and physiopathology of obesity involves dysregulated calorie utilization and energy balance, disrupted homeostasis of appetite and satiety, lifestyle factors including sedentary lifestyle, lower socio-economic status, genetic predisposition, epigenetics and environmental factors. Some endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have been proposed as "obesogens" that stimulate adipogenesis leading to obesity. In this review, definition of obesogens, their adverse effects, underlying mechanisms and metabolic implications will be updated and discussed.
Summary: Disruption of lipid homeostasis by EDCs involves multiple mechanisms including increase in the number and size of adipocytes, disruption of endocrine-regulated adiposity and metabolism, alteration of hypothalamic regulation of appetite, satiety, food preference and energy balance, and modification of insulin sensitivity in the liver, skeletal muscle, pancreas, gastrointestinal system and the brain. At a cellular level, obesogens can exert their endocrine disruptive effects by interfering with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors and steroid receptors. Human exposure to chemical obesogens mainly occurs by ingestion and, to some extent, by inhalation and dermal uptake, usually in an unconscious manner. Persistent pollutants are lipophilic features; thus, they bio-accumulate in adipose tissue.
Key Messages: Although there is an increasing number of reports studying the effects of obesogens, their mechanisms of action remain to be elucidated. In addition, epidemiological studies are needed in order to evaluate human exposure to obesogens.
