Question: What are xenoestrogens?
The cited reference notes, “Environmental, industrial, or naturally occuring chemicals that possess estrogenic and/or antiestrogenic activities are termed xenoestrogens and may interfere with endocrine systems. These xenoestrogens are therefore defined as endocrine-active or endocrine-disrupting compounds.” (Mueller SO. Xenoestrogens: mechanisms of action and detection methods. 2004 Anal Bioanal Chem 378:582-587)
