Like other communication networks‚ endocrine systems contain transmitters‚ signals and receivers that are called‚ respectively‚ hormone producing cells‚ hormones and receptors. The first step in understanding endocrinology is to explore the meaning of such terms as hormone‚ receptor and target cell‚ and to obtain an understanding of how chemical

of well known environmental contaminants‚ such as dioxin‚ PCBs and DDT‚ can affect hormone levels. Hormones are produced by the endocrine system as regulators of biological function in target organs. Because hormones play a critical role in early development‚ toxicological effects on the endocrine system often have an impact on the reproductive system. The term endocrine disruptor is used to describe chemicals that can mimic hormones and may either enhance or counteract their effects. It has been
