With human exposure to environmental contaminants inevitable despite the best application of environmental laws and protection technologies, interest has grown in the potential to reduce the levels of contamination carried in the human host. This study demonstrates the promise of a comprehensive treatment for reduction of body burdens of polychlorinated and polybrominated biphenyis (PCB and PBB...
Background/Aim: Animal studies have shown that endocrine-disrupting chemicals can cause transient hypothyroidism. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects exposure endocrine disrupting (polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated (PBBs), bisphenol A (BPA) in plastics) intrauterine life on thyroid function tests during neonatal period. Methods: In observational cohort study, cord...
The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is a relatively high lipid, long lived species capable of living in a variety of brackish, fresh and marine habitats. As such, eels can accumulate organic pollutants and have been incorporated into environmental monitoring programs as a suitable "bioindicator" species for the determination of the levels of organic contaminants within different water bodies. ...
Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and brominated dioxins are emerging persistent organic pollutants that are ubiquitous in the environment and can be accumulated by wildlife and humans. These chemicals can disturb endocrine function. Recent studies have demonstrated that one of the mechanisms of endocrine disruption by chemicals is modulation of steroidogenic gene expression or enzyme activiti...
Commercial mixtures of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) can cause hepatocellular carcinoma in rats and mice. Present evidence indicates that these chemicals act as promoters and not initiators of hepatocarcinogenesis. Our results show that Firemaster BP-6 (FM) and its nontoxic major congener, 2,2', 4,4', 5,5'-hexabromobiphenyl (HBB), act as promoters in the t...
Eggs from Northern Fulmars (Fulmarus glacialis) were sampled in the Faroe Islands. The content of the brominated flame retardants tri- to decabromodiphenyl ethers (BDEs) and 1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)ethane (BTBPE) were determined in nine samples in concentrations ranging from non-detectable to 7 ng g-1(l.w.). The BDE levels were similar as in an earlier study of BDE levels in the fulmar eg...
Emerging brominated flame retardants (eBFRs) other than polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and their derivatives in foods have been in focus in recent years due to their increasing production volumes, indefinite information on toxicities and the lack of data on occurrence in environments, foods as well as humans. In this study, gas chromatography was coupled...
Some of the polyhalogenated aromatic compounds (PHAs) which are able to produce porphyria are presently known as environmental contaminants. Chronic exposure to PHAs causes hepatic porphyria in different species. Qualitatively PBBs act comparable to PHAs. An increase in accumulation of porphyrins caused by PHAs is not simply related to an increase of delta-ALAS activity in liver. Heme cannot ex...
Thyroid hormone (TH) is essential for normal brain development, but the specific actions of TH differ across developmental time and brain region. These actions of TH are mediated largely by a combination of thyroid hormone receptor (TR) isoforms that exhibit specific temporal and spatial patterns of expression during animal and human brain development. In addition, TR action is influenced by di...
