ImpactNeutral impact

Comments imply that the findings might be noteworthy but are not considered revolutionary or highly influential at this stage.

Abstract in brief

Frogs exposed to endocrine disruptors (EDs) throughout their life develop prediabetes and metabolic syndrome, affecting their liver and pancreas functions.
These metabolic disorders result in delayed metamorphosis, smaller size at maturity, reduced reproductive success, and health problems that persist even after long-term removal from ED exposure.
The study suggests that EDs at very low concentrations, below levels considered safe, could significantly contribute to amphibian population decline by disrupting metabolism, which aligns with concerns about EDs causing metabolic diseases in humans.]
