The formation of nicotinamide by administration of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate does not cause growth retardation in young rats in contrast with excess exogenous administration of nicotinamide.

چکیده
We investigated the relationship between protein and tryptophan intake and the adverse-effect-level of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP). Growth retardation of young rats due to DEHP was strengthened by increasing protein level. The addition of tryptophan to the diet caused extreme increases in the nicotinamide formation, but no growth retardation was observed.

The Effect of Di-(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP) on Mouse Daily Sperm Production and Epididymal Sperm Parameters
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) on testicular spermatid number per gram testis (TSN), daily sperm production (DSP), count, motility, viability, morphology, and chromatine quality of epididymal sperm. Materials and Methods: The protocol for DEHP administration was that adult male NMRI mice (the age group of 4 weeks) received 29 D...

Objective(s): Nowadays, Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is widely used in different kinds of commercial products as a plasticizer. Previous studies have revealed that exposures to DEHP could be associated with precocious puberty in teenagers, but the exact mechanism is yet to be known.

Background: Role of nitric oxide (NO) in morphine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) has already been proposed in the rat medial septum (MS), but no molecular evidence has been provided to clear this fact. Methods: Effects of intraseptal injections of L-arginine and/or NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) on morphine place conditioning in Wistar rats were examined. Morphine (2.5-7....
