Endocrine Disruptors & Metabolism: Microplastics, BPA, Estrogen, Insulin, Pancreas & Metabolic Dysfunction | Angel Nadal | 184

Oct 27, 2024

Angel Nadal, a Spanish biologist specializing in endocrine disruptors and pancreatic functions, discusses the intricate relationship between microplastics, BPA, and hormone signaling. He dives into how these disruptors impact insulin signaling and metabolic health, emphasizing their effects on both males and females. The conversation touches on the critical role of estrogen in metabolism and how BPA can influence developmental outcomes during pregnancy. Nadal also highlights sex differences in responses to endocrine disruptors, offering insights into gender-specific health implications.
