BPA Exposure Leads to Abnormal Estrous Cycle and Folliculogenesis, Mouse Study Finds
Exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), even at environmentally low doses, disrupts the preovulatory luteinizing hormone (LH) surge and leads to abnormal estrous cycle and folliculogenesis, according to a study recently published in Endocrinology. This disruption is reversible following adult exposure, but it persists into adulthood after neonatal exposure. Researchers led by David Lopez-Rodriguez, MSc, at the neuroendocrinology...
The challenges of managing thyroid cancer patients include regulating their hormone replacement therapy and monitoring for recurrence. Here, we highlight an upcoming ENDO 2020 session that details the issues in treating patients post-thyroid cancer therapy. Thyroid cancer patients generally have an excellent prognosis but require careful management to optimize their care. Some strategies for optimizing...
Researcher Daniel J. Drucker, MD, has been awarded the Endocrine Society’s John D. Baxter Prize for Entrepreneurship for his contributions to diabetes treatment, the Society announced today. Drucker’s research has contributed greatly to the understanding and treatment of diabetes over the last 25 years. He discovered new mechanisms of hormone action enabling the development of...
ENDO 2020 is heading west so Endocrine News is hoping to encourage you to attend the most important meeting of endocrinology scientists and clinicians from around the world by tempting you with a few highlights of this year’s host city: San Francisco. San Francisco is known for its cable cars, iconic bridge, and for being...
Five endocrinologists to join Board of Directors Endocrine Society members have elected Carol H. Wysham, MD, to serve as the organization’s President for the 2021-2022 term.

Jean Rivier was a chemist both in training and spirit, but by isolating and characterizing many then-undiscovered peptide hormones, and providing the synthetic peptide tools critical to experimental biology to study them, he became a pioneer of our modern understanding of the biological roles of peptides in regulating nearly all physiologic systems ranging from endocrinology...
