Inhibitory Effects of Resveratrol against Mitochondrial Toxicity Induced by Perfluorooctanoic Acid in Isolated Liver Mitochondria of Male Rats

 Background and purpose: Resveratrol (RSV) is a naturally polyphenolic compound found in grapes and other plant sources. It has potent free radical scavenger and antioxidative properties.The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of resveratrol against Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) induced mitochondrial toxicity in isolated liver mitochondria. Materials and methods: Mitochondr...

Theoretical and experimental insights into the electrochemical mineralization mechanism of perfluorooctanoic acid.

The electrochemical mineralization mechanism of environmentally persistent perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) at a Ce-doped modified porous nanocrystalline PbO2 film anode was investigated using density functional theory (DFT) simulation and further validated experimentally. The potential energy surface was mapped out for all possible reactions during electrochemical mineralization reaction of PFOA....

P-29: Study of The Environmental Effectsof EDCs, Perfluorooctanoic Acid and Diethylstilbestrol on Human ReproductiveParameters and Fertility Outcomes

Background: There is an important evidence that prolonged exposure to several endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). These are persistent materials with unique environmental properties such as intake of contaminated food, water and air, irrespective of proximity to industries, which are suspected to have endocrine disrupting activities. Perflurooctanoic acid (PFOA) and diethylstilbestrol (EDCs)...

Understanding Potential Exposure Sources of Perfluorinated Carboxylic Acids in the Workplace

This paper integrates perspectives from analytical chemistry, environmental engineering, and industrial hygiene to better understand how workers may be exposed to perfluorinated carboxylic acids when handling them in the workplace in order to identify appropriate exposure controls. Due to the dramatic difference in physical properties of the protonated acid form and the anionic form, this famil...
