Chapter 25, Problem 1SL
Summary Introduction
To propose:
A way that can be used to test the hypothesis of microwave foods in plastic containers is potential sources of endocrine disruptors.
Introduction:
Substances that can alter the signaling pathway of hormones by mimicking a natural hormone are called endocrine disruptors. These endocrine disruptors are present in water and food. Endocrine disruptors are accumulated in the fatty tissues of an individual.
