Svensk definition
Exogena medel, syntetiska eller naturligt förekommande, som kan störa funktionen i endokrina systemet inklusive upprätthållandet av homeostas och regleringen av utvecklingsprocesser. Endokrina disruptorer är föreningar som kan härma hormoner eller förstärka alternativt blockera att hormoner binder till sina receptorer, eller på annat sätt leda till aktivering eller förhinder i endokrinsignaleringen och hormonomsättningen.
