Skin permeation and metabolism of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). [PDF]
, 2014 Phthalates are suspected to be endocrine disruptors. Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is assumed to have low dermal absorption; however, previous in vitro skin permeation studies have shown large permeation differences.

Teleosts as Models for Epigenetic Inheritance
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.ABSTRACT Teleost fish exhibit a striking divergence from mammals in how they regulate their epigenome. Unlike mammals, they do not undergo the extensive DNA methylation erasure and resetting events that occur during early embryogenesis, germline specification, and spermatogenesis.
