Abstract

Environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are exogenous chemicals which interfere with the behavior of hormones and exist widely in our daily life. They can combine with different receptors in the body, enhance or inhibit the normal endocrine function through a variety of mechanisms, and then lead to various diseases. This article reviews the impacts of EDCs on male reproduction, focusing on the relationship of EDCs with male reproduction and their possible action mechanisms.

Keywords: impact; male reproduction; endocrine disrupting chemical.
