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 کاملPhthalate ester toxicity in Leydig cells: developmental timing and dosage considerations.
Humans have significant exposures to phthalates, as these chemical plasticizers are ubiquitously present in flexible plastics. Recent epidemiological evidence indicates that boys born to women exposed to phthalates during pregnancy have an increased incidence of congenital genital malformations and spermatogenic dysfunction, signs of a condition referred to as testicular dysgenesis syndrome (TD...
متن کاملInvolvement of a novel ABC transporter and monoalkyl phthalate ester hydrolase in phthalate ester catabolism by Rhodococcus jostii RHA1.
Phthalate esters (PEs) are important environmental pollutants. While the biodegradation of the parent compound, phthalate (PTH), is well characterized, the biodegradation of PEs is not well understood. In particular, prior to this study, genes involved in the uptake and hydrolysis of these compounds were not conclusively identified. We found that Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 could grow on a variety ...
متن کاملMitochondrial toxicity of phthalate esters.
The effects of mono- and dibutyl phthalate and mono- and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate on energy-dependent K+ uptake, respiration rates, and succinate cytochrome c reductase activities of isolated rat liver mitochondria were evaluated. The energy-coupling processes, active K+ transport and oxidative phosphorylation, were affected most by di-n-butyl phthalate and mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate. Mono-...
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...
