Over the past decades there has been a growing concern about the exposure of animals and humans to these endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). EDCs can be chemicals of synthetic (pesticides, industrial chemicals,bisphenols,...) or natural origin (mycotoxins, fytoestrogens,…)(Diamanti-Kandarakis et al., 2009). %B Scientific Report CODA-CERVA 2013/2014 %I CODA-CERVA %C Brussels, Belgium %8 2015 %U NA %9 Scientific Report CODA-CERVA %& 193
