1.
Saraf M, Jeng Y, Watson C
Steroids . 2019 May; 168:108411. PMID: 31132367
Ethinyl estradiol (EE, the active component of many birth control formulations) persists in treated waste waters and it has become a concerning endocrine-disrupting contaminant throughout the world. Previous studies have...

Watson C, Koong L, Jeng Y, Vinas R
Steroids . 2018 Jul; 142:84-93. PMID: 30012504
Rapid nongenomic signaling by estrogens (Es), initiated near the cell membrane, provides new explanations for the potent actions of environmental chemicals that imperfectly mimic physiological Es. These pathways can affect...

Watson C, Jeng Y, Bulayeva N, Finnerty C, Koong L, Zivadinovic D, et al.
Methods Mol Biol . 2014 Sep; 1204:123-33. PMID: 25182766
We developed fixed-cell multi-well plate immunoassays that increase the throughput and ease of quantification for questions formerly assessed by immunoblot scanning. The assays make use of the now abundant antibodies...

Vinas R, Jeng Y, Watson C
Int J Environ Res Public Health . 2012 Oct; 9(8):2694-714. PMID: 23066391
Xenoestrogens (XEs) are chemicals derived from a variety of natural and anthropogenic sources that can interfere with endogenous estrogens by either mimicking or blocking their responses via non-genomic and/or genomic...

Watson C, Jeng Y, Hu G, Wozniak A, Bulayeva N, Guptarak J
Steroids . 2012 Jan; 77(5):424-32. PMID: 22230296
Unlabelled: Multiple physiologic estrogens (estradiol, estriol, and estrone), as well as xenoestrogenic compounds (including alkylphenols and bisphenol A), can act via nongenomic signaling initiated by liganding of the plasma membrane...

Soloff M, Jeng Y, Izban M, Sinha M, Luxon B, Stamnes S, et al.
Reprod Sci . 2011 Jul; 18(8):781-97. PMID: 21795739
An important action of progesterone during pregnancy is to maintain the uterus in a quiescent state and thereby prevent preterm labor. The causes of preterm labor are not well understood,...

Watson C, Jeng Y, Guptarak J
J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol . 2011 Feb; 127(1-2):44-50. PMID: 21300151
When inappropriate (non-physiologic) estrogens affect organisms at critical times of estrogen sensitivity, disruption of normal endocrine functions can result. Non-physiologic estrogen mimetics (environmental, dietary, and pharmaceutical) can signal rapidly and...

Watson C, Alyea R, Cunningham K, Jeng Y
Int J Womens Health . 2010 Nov; 2:153-66. PMID: 21072308
Gender and sex hormones can influence a variety of mental health states, including mood, cognitive development and function, and vulnerability to neurodegenerative diseases and brain damage. Functions of neuronal cells...

Jeng Y, Kochukov M, Watson C
Environ Health . 2010 Oct; 9:61. PMID: 20950447
Background: Xenoestrogens such as alkylphenols and the structurally related plastic byproduct bisphenol A have recently been shown to act potently via nongenomic signaling pathways and the membrane version of estrogen...

Jeng Y, Watson C
Environ Health Perspect . 2010 Sep; 119(1):104-12. PMID: 20870566
Background: Estrogens are potent nongenomic phospho-activators of extracellular-signal-regulated kinases (ERKs). A major concern about the toxicity of xenoestrogens (XEs) is potential alteration of responses to physiologic estrogens when XEs are...
