Uses Computational Tools to Simulate Endocrine Disruption Phenomena
Endocrine Disruption Modeling provides a practical overview of the
current approaches for modeling endocrine activity and the related
potential adverse effects they may induce on environmental and
human health. Based on the extensive research of an international
panel of contributors from industry, academia, and regulatory
agencies, this is the first book devoted to using computer tools to
better understand and simulate the multifaceted aspects of
endocrine disruption in humans and wildlife. Explores Diverse
Modeling Techniques and Applications This up-to-date resource
focuses on xenobiotics that are accidentally released into the
environment with the potential to disturb the normal functioning of
the endocrine system of invertebrates and vertebrates but also on
the specific agro-chemistry design of chemicals that take control
of insect endocrine systems. A comprehensive research reference,
Endocrine Disruption Modeling provides a collection of
computational strategies to model these structurally diverse
chemicals. It concludes with a review of the available e-resources
in the field, rounding out the book's task-oriented approach to
future EDC discovery. Endocrine Disruption Modeling is the first
book in the QSAR in Environmental and Health Sciences series (James
