Endocrine-disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) are exogenous chemicals that influence many aspects of natural hormone actions. Bisphenol is used in the industry, for increasing the thickness and durability of materials in certain plastics and resins. Paraben is used as preservatives in many pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and some food products. EDCs can increase estrogen levels inside the body, and estrogen itself can increase the monoamine effect (dopamine, serotonin), neuronal excitability, neuropeptide transmitter mechanism, and drug metabolism. In drug abusers, this effect can develop greater craving behavior, addiction, and relapse.
