ENP77: Phthalates and Endocrine Puberty

Author: Endocrine Society October 18, 2023 Duration: 12:01
We look at a study, presented at ENDO 2023, about the endocrine-disrupting chemicals known as phthalates, or plasticizers, and their effects on fetal and neonatal endocrine puberty. Host Aaron Lohr talks with Mary Bunnell from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, co-author of the study, titled, “Prenatal Phthalate Exposure Alters the Pattern of Fetal and Neonatal Endocrine Puberty in a Sex-specific Manner.” Show notes are available at https://www.endocrine.org/podcast/enp77-phthalates-and-endocrine-puberty — for helpful links or to hear more podcast episodes, visit https://www.endocrine.org/podcast
