ENP95: Environmental Impact on Early Female Puberty

There are plenty of studies showing that chemicals found in the environment can directly impact human health. Some new research finds that certain environmental compounds may trigger early female puberty. Joining host Aaron Lohr to talk about that research is Natalie Shaw, MD, a Lasker clinical research scholar and principal investigator of the pediatric neuroendocrinology group in the Clinical Research Branch of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Dr. Shaw and colleagues authored an article recently published in the journal Endocrinology titled, “Identification of Environmental Compounds That May Trigger Early Female Puberty by Activating Human GnRHR and KISS1R.” Show notes are available at https://www.endocrine.org/podcast/enp95-environmental-impact-on-early-female-puberty — for helpful links or to hear more podcast episodes, visit https://www.endocrine.org/podcast
