Funded Activity Summary

Synthetic chemicals called xenobiotics in the environment are capable of interfering with female fertility. Xenobiotics can trigger oocyte depletion of the ovary and infertility. Exhaustion of the oocyte population results in the menopause, loss of ovarian hormones and profoundly affects female health through increasing susceptibility to heart and bone disease. This research will characterise xenobiotic effects on the ovary and will lead to significant advances in reproductive healthcare.
