How do environmental exposures, such as pollutants or endocrine disruptors, impact the secretion and function of follicle-stimulating hormone?
Environmental pollutants, like BPA, can disrupt the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, altering FSH levels and impairing reproductive health.
Exposure to endocrine disruptors, such as phthalates, can interfere with FSH secretion, potentially leading to reduced fertility and other hormonal imbalances.
Environmental pollutants like endocrine disruptors can interfere with the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), potentially leading to reproductive issues by disrupting normal hormonal balances.
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals can mimic or inhibit natural hormones, affecting FSH secretion and leading to altered menstrual cycles and fertility problems in women.
Pollutants such as phthalates and BPA can affect the pituitary gland’s ability to produce FSH, impacting reproductive health by altering hormone levels and functions.
