In-Vitro Effect of Phthalate Esters on Retinal Aldolase
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background and Aim: Phthalate esters used in the manufacture of cosmetics, lubricants, medical devices and wood furnishings enter the human system through various routes and accumulate into tissues to a considerable level. Low levels of plasticizer cause infertility, hypospadias and premature puberty, while high doses of esters can damage the liver and lung. Reports on the ocular effects of these compounds are either not available or very scarce. The present study assessed the impact of dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethylphthalate (DEP) and diethyl hexyl-phthalate (DEHP) on bovine retinal aldolase.

Phthalate esters extensively used as plasticizers in the plastic industry, are suspected of being endocrine disruptors. In this article, data for toxicity and the possible mechanisms of phthalate ester action in rodents are summarized for each endpoint related to reproduction and development, based on the latest research. As it is considered that the hydrolyzed metabolite of phthalate esters, t...
