Mechanisms of phthalate ester toxicity in the female reproductive system.
Phthalates are high-production-volume synthetic chemicals with ubiquitous human exposures because of their use in plastics and other common consumer products. Recent epidemiologic evidence suggests that women have a unique exposure profile to phthalates, which raises concern about the potential health hazards posed by such exposures. Research in our laboratory examines how phthalates interact w...
متن کاملNeural mechanisms coordinating the female reproductive system in the locust.
The production of viable offspring is a complex task, involving courtship, mating, maturation of eggs, ovulation, fertilization of eggs, and oviposition. With particular regard to the female, the reproductive system must produce eggs at the appropriate time and deposit them after fertilization in an appropriate place. Thus, the various structures of the reproductive system must be tightly coord...
متن کاملPhthalate ester metabolism in the isolated, perfused rat liver system.
A series of experiments, performed at Johns Hopkins University, which led to our finding that plasticizers are extracted from poly-(vinyl chloride) (PVC) plastic by blood and biologic fluids will be described. The experiments began with the appearance of an unknown compound in the isolated perfused liver system. Livers were perfused with a mixture of synthetic plasma containing bovine serum alb...
متن کاملPeroxisome proliferator-activated receptors: mediators of phthalate ester-induced effects in the male reproductive tract?
Many phthalate ester plasticizers are classified as peroxisome proliferators (PP), a large group of industrial and pharmaceutical chemicals. Like PP, exposure to some phthalates increases hepatocyte peroxisome and cellular proliferation, as well as the incidence of hepatocellular adenomas in mice and rats. Most effects of PP are mediated by three nuclear receptors called peroxisome proliferator...
متن کاملP-50: The Effect of Sulpiride on Reproductive System in Female Rats
Background: Sulpiride is a substituted benzamide derivative and a selective dopamine D2 antagonist with antipsychotic and antidepressant activity. Sulpiride is effective in the treatment of acute and chronic schizophrenia.Sexual function is multifaceted and is affected in many ways by schizophrenia and the antipsychotic drugs used in its treatment . Sulpiride are associated with elevation of pr...
