ABSTRACT

There is mounting evidence that the gut microbiome has a profound impact on human health and disease. In this chapter, we discuss interactions between endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and gut microbiota. We consider how the gut microbiota, through cross-talk with the guteliver and gutebrain axes, can mediate the outcome of EDC exposure. In addition, evidence is provided for the sex-specific, transgenerational effects of early EDC exposure, primarily through disruption of the vertical transfer of maternal gut microbiota. Furthermore, the potential role of gut microbiota dysbiosis in inflammatory, autoimmune, and anxiety-related C H A P T E R 355 Endocrine Disruption and Human Health, Second Edition https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-821985-0.00015-3 © 2022 Elsevier Inc.

Finally, evidence is provided that gut microbiota could be considered a therapeutic target for mitigating some of the effects of EDC on human health and disease. More specifically, inherent individual differences in gut microbiota can be used as a tool in developing a personalized microbiome-modifying approach to treating EDC-induced disorders.
