UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010636	Phenols	Benzene derivatives that include one or more hydroxyl groups attached to the ring structure.
D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.	Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D001559	Benzhydryl Compounds	Compounds which contain the methyl radical substituted with two benzene rings. Permitted are any substituents, but ring fusion to any of the benzene rings is not allowed.	Diphenylmethyl Compounds,Compounds, Benzhydryl,Compounds, Diphenylmethyl
D013961	Thyroid Gland	A highly vascularized endocrine gland consisting of two lobes joined by a thin band of tissue with one lobe on each side of the TRACHEA. It secretes THYROID HORMONES from the follicular cells and CALCITONIN from the parafollicular cells thereby regulating METABOLISM and CALCIUM level in blood, respectively.

D048789	Phytoestrogens	Compounds derived from plants, primarily ISOFLAVONES that mimic or modulate endogenous estrogens, usually by binding to ESTROGEN RECEPTORS.

D050417	Insulin-Secreting Cells	A type of pancreatic cell representing about 50-80% of the islet cells. Beta cells secrete INSULIN.	Pancreatic beta Cells,beta Cells, Pancreatic,Pancreatic B Cells,B Cell, Pancreatic,B Cells, Pancreatic,Cell, Insulin-Secreting,Cells, Insulin-Secreting,Insulin Secreting Cells,Insulin-Secreting Cell,Pancreatic B Cell,Pancreatic beta Cell,beta Cell, Pancreatic
D052244	Endocrine Disruptors	Exogenous agents, synthetic and naturally occurring, which are capable of disrupting the functions of the ENDOCRINE SYSTEM including the maintenance of HOMEOSTASIS and the regulation of developmental processes. Endocrine disruptors are compounds that can mimic HORMONES, or enhance or block the binding of hormones to their receptors, or otherwise lead to activating or inhibiting the endocrine signaling pathways and hormone metabolism.
