Abstract
The effects of obesogens/EDCs, including BPA, chlorpyrifos, lead, and polychlorinated biphenyls, on metabolism in reproductive tissues/cells of rodents are summarized. Take bisphenol A (BPA) as an example: based on the US FDA/EPA guidelines, the human RfD for BPA is 50 µg/kg/day. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are chemicals, either natural or synthetic, that can interfere with the production, distribution, function, metabolism, or excretion of hormones in our body.
