查看更多>>摘要:Ovary plays an important role in the female reproductive system.The maintenance and regulation of ovarian function are affected by various physical and chemical factors.With the development of industrialization,environmental pollutants have caused great harm to public health.Phthalates,as a class of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs),are synthesized and used in large quantities as plasticizers due to their chemical properties.They are easily released into environment because of their noncovalent interactions with substances,causing human exposure and possibly impairing ovary.In recent years,more and more attention has been paid to the role of epigenetics in the occurrence and development of diseases.And it is urgent to study the role of methylation,gene imprinting,miRNA,and other epigenetic mechanisms in reproductive toxicology.
