Male-mediated developmental toxicity
In recent years, the public has become more aware that exposure of males to certain agents can adversely affect their offspring and cause infertility and cancer. The hazards associated with exposure to ionising radiation have been recognised for nearly a century, but interest was aroused when a cluster of leukaemia cases was identified in young children living in Seascale, close to the nuclear ...
متن کاملNeurobehavioural effects of developmental toxicity.
Neurodevelopmental disabilities, including autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia, and other cognitive impairments, affect millions of children worldwide, and some diagnoses seem to be increasing in frequency. Industrial chemicals that injure the developing brain are among the known causes for this rise in prevalence. In 2006, we did a systematic review and identified five i...
متن کاملCAESAR models for developmental toxicity
BACKGROUND The new REACH legislation requires assessment of a large number of chemicals in the European market for several endpoints. Developmental toxicity is one of the most difficult endpoints to assess, on account of the complexity, length and costs of experiments. Following the encouragement of QSAR (in silico) methods provided in the REACH itself, the CAESAR project has developed several ...
متن کاملTranscriptomics in developmental toxicity testing
Reproductive toxicity testing is one of the most complex, expensive and labor intensive fields of toxicology (Leist et al. drastically demonstrate the fundamental importance of reliable developmental toxicity tests for human safety (van Recently, human embryonic stem cell based in vitro test systems have been established that recapitulate critical periods of human early development (Krug et al....
متن کاملMultigeneration Reproduction and Male Developmental Toxicity Studies on Atrazine in Rats
BACKGROUND Reproductive toxicity of Atrazine (ATR) was evaluated in two rat multigenerational studies. Development of male reproductive parameters was evaluated in separate studies after prenatal or postnatal exposure. METHODS In multigenerational studies, rats received dietary concentrations of 0, 10, 50, 100 or 500 ppm ATR. In separate studies in female rats, ATR was administered by gavage ...
