Infos

This volume offers a detailed and comprehensive analysis of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs), covering their occurrence, exposure to humans and the mechanisms that lead to the parthogenesis of EDCs-induced metabolic disorders. The book is divided into three parts. Part I describes the physiology of the human endocrine system, with special emphasis on various types of metabolic disorders along with risk factors that are responsible for the development of these disorders. Part II addresses all aspects of EDCs, including their role in the induction of various risk factors that are responsible for the development of metabolic disorders. Part III covers up-to-date environmental regulatory considerations and treatment strategies that have been adopted to cure and prevent EDCs-induced metabolic disorders. This section will primarily appeal to clinicians investigating the causes and treatment of metabolic disorders. The text will also be of interest to students and researchers in the fields of Environmental Pharmacology and Toxicology, Environmental Pollution, Pharmaceutical Biochemistry, Biotechnology, and Drug Metabolism/Pharmacokinetics.

Dr. Muhammad Sajid Hamid Akash (PAS Gold Medal) is an Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at Government College University, Faisalabad, Pakistan. Dr. Akash works on the impact of EDCs on various molecular and metabolic pathways that are involved in metabolic disorders, as well as their treatment strategies for EDC-induced metabolic disorders.

Dr. Kanwal Rehman is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacy, at the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan. Dr. Rehman is working on health issues related to metabolic syndrome. 

Dr. Muhammad Zaffar Hashmi is an Assistant Professor of Environmental Engineering in the Department of Chemistry at COMSATS University Islamabad Campus, Pakistan. Dr. Hashmi works on multiple water, soil, air and health related issues, and has expertise in developing environmentally sustainable and feasible technologies.
