Mammalian eggs (oocytes) are formed during fetal life and establish associations with
somatic cells to form primordial follicles that create a store of germ cells (the primordial pool) …

The peri-menopause or menopausal transition—the time period that surrounds the final
years of a woman's reproductive life—is associated with profound reproductive and …

The reproductive life span of the organism mainly depends on follicular development that
maintains the primordial follicle pool in the cohort of follicles within the ovary. The total count …

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are ubiquitous in daily life, but their harmful effects
on the human body have not been fully explored. Recent studies have shown that EDCs …

In the long-lived naked mole-rat (NMR), the entire process of oogenesis occurs postnatally.
Germ cell numbers increase significantly in NMRs between postnatal days 5 (P5) and P8 …

Exposure to endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is unavoidable, which represents a
public health concern given the ability of EDCs to target the ovary. However, there is a large …

Rationale: Accumulated evidence indicates that environmental plasticizers are a threat to
human and animal fertility. Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a plasticizer to which humans …

Widespread use of phthalates as solvents and plasticizers leads to everyday human
exposure. The mechanisms by which phthalate metabolites act as ovarian toxicants are not …

Phthalates are used as solvents and plasticizers in a wide variety of consumer products.
Most people are exposed to phthalates as parent compounds through ingestion, inhalation …

Abstract Triclocarban (TCC), a broad-spectrum lipophilic antibacterial agent, is the main
ingredient of personal and health care products. Nonetheless, its ubiquitous presence in the …
