This lecture explores the relationship between endocrine disruptors and their potential role in obesity. Endocrine disruptors are synthetic chemicals or natural compounds that interfere with the body's endocrine system, which controls hormone production and regulation. The discussion highlights how these disruptors can negatively affect metabolism, adipose tissue development, and appetite control, ultimately contributing to obesity. Various sources of endocrine disruptors, such as plastics, pesticides, and certain food additives, are examined, along with their mechanisms of action. The lecture also emphasizes the need for further research, regulatory measures, and public awareness to mitigate the impact of endocrine disruptors on obesity and overall public health.
