    Abstract This book describes how exposure to various classes of endocrine disruptors, as well as other environmental chemicals targeting the endocrine system by alternative non-endocrine mechanisms, impact on endocrinological and endocrinological-related diseases. It includes comprehensive reviews of all aspects of environmental endocrinology, ranging from sources and patterns of exposure and identification of endocrine targets to direct endocrine disruptive mechanisms and indirect actions on the endocrine system, the latter including endocrine cell-directed cytotoxicity, oxidative damage, and genetic and epigenetic aberrations resulting in endocrine damage. It also examines the causal pathways and offers an extensive overview of downstream endocrinological and endocrinological-related disorders. In addition, several chapters focus on transgenerational actions, which are a topic of particular interest. Lastly, evidence from preclinical and clinical studies provides the basis for an in-depth, critical discussion of each topic. The book is part of the SpringerReference program, which provides access to ‘living editions’ that are constantly updated using a dynamic peer-review publishing process.

    Abstract Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrinopathy affecting a remarkable proportion of premenopausal women. Different studies have shown that stress is widely encountered in women with PCOS. Areas covered: As PCOS is a multifaceted disorder, 'stress' incorporates different translations. We performed a literature review, focusing on the most recent data, regarding the multipotent role of stress in the syndrome. Expert commentary: Stress is believed to be an important component of PCOS. It encompasses different definitions that are all equivalent, like metabolic, inflammatory, oxidative and emotional stress. However, the type of stress that distinguishes PCOS is metabolic stress. It becomes evident early in life and constitutes the pathophysiological heart of the syndrome. Metabolic stress along with the other types of stress are the progenitors of severe long-term health implications, which exacerbate further the reproductive, metabolic and psychological derangements of the syndrome, leading to an endless cycle of chronic illness.

    Abstract Human, animal, and in vitro studies provide evidence that advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) may contribute to the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and its metabolic and reproductive consequences. AGEs are able to induce, via activation of key intracellular signaling pathways, the generation of oxidative stress and proinflammatory cytokines, thus contributing to the adverse health impact of PCOS. This review presents the implications of AGEs in several disease pathophysiologies, including PCOS, as well as the cellular and systemic effects of AGEs on insulin resistance (IR), hyperandrogenemia, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, hypoxia, and ovarian function. The gaps in our knowledge will serve as launching pad for future developments ranging from dietary and lifestyle changes to pharmaceutical interventions aiming at potential applications in women with PCOS.

    Abstract Sex steroids, except for their primary reproductive role, exert key effects on metabolic target tissues. Androgen receptors have been detected in various tissues, participating in both central and peripheral regulation of metabolism and insulin action. The physiological role of androgens in regulating multiple aspects of female insulin signaling and energy metabolism becomes evident early in utero, thus programming how insulin-targeted tissues will behave in later life. Across lifespan, distinct effects of androgens in all insulin-targeted tissues are controlled by their circulating serum levels, within a narrow window, outside of which disturbances in metabolism are observed. Thus, androgen excess in women, as documented in those with polycystic ovary syndrome, can adversely affect insulin sensitivity, promoting visceral adiposity, adipose tissue dysfunction, and, ultimately, insulin resistance.
