Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can act by binding directly to hormone receptors as hormone âmimicsâ or as âantagonistsâ. Describe the key difference in mechanism between mimics and antagonists in terms of the effects on receptor signaling. Why is it important to know the potencies of different EDCs relative to normal estrogen or other relevant hormones for understanding the potential human health effects from exposure to EDCs?
