Figure-3: The mechanism of the function of endocrine disrupting chemicals
The Mechanism of Estrogenic Effects
ER (estrogen receptor): it activates genes (DNA) by binding to estrogens.
The Mechanism to Inhibit Androgen Activity
AR (androgen receptor): it activates genes (DNA) by binding to androgens.
