Xenoestrogens

Xenoestrogens are synthetically produced chemical compounds with an estrogen-like effect on the hormone system of an organism and are therefore among the endocrine disruptors . A distinction is made between phytoestrogens (substances with an estrogen-like effect from plants) and the pharmacologically used estrogens.
