The risk of cryptorchidism among sons of women working in horticulture in Denmark: a cohort study
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Androgens are crucial for normal testicular descent. Studies show that some pesticides have estrogenic or antiandrogenic effects, and that female workers exposed to pesticides have increased risk of having a boy with cryptorchidism. The main objective of the present study was to investigate whether pregnant women exposed to pesticides due to their work in horticulture experience excess risk of having sons with cryptorchidism.
