Neuroendocrine homeostasis and endocrine-disrupting compounds

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.
