Neuroendocrine homeostasis and endocrine-disrupting compounds

In this video Dr. Jan Czerniecki discusses the effect of endocrine-disrupting compounds on our neuroendocrine system.

This video shows connections between endocrine-disrupting compounds present in our diet and the maintenance of neuroendocrine homeostasis.

Jan Czerniecki explores how the development of new technologies, new food packaging and storing materials made of plastic affects hormonal homeostasis. Some examples of the disrupting effects of plasticizers on our body (including the neuroendocrine system) are also given.
