Evaluating the Endocrine‐Disrupting and Oxidative Stress Potential of a 50‐Component Human‐Relevant Complex Chemical Mixture Using In Vitro Tests

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 6, Page 2003-2018, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Humans are chronically exposed to mixtures of environmental contaminants. Exposure to endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs) contributes to increased health impairment observed globally. This study aimed to evaluate the endocrine‐disruptive and oxidative stress potential of a human‐relevant, complex chemical mixture in vitro.

A variety of environmentally persistent chemicals, including some phthalate plasticizers, are weakly estrogenic

, 1995
Sewage, a complex mixture of organic and inorganic chemicals, is considered to be a major source of environmental pollution. A random screen of 20 organic man-made chemicals present in liquid effluents revealed that half appeared able to interact with ...

Encephalopathy: Cause, Pathogenesis, and Treatment

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
Various encephalopathies (sepsis‐associated, hepatic, hypoxic–ischemic, diabetic, uremic, toxic) have incompletely elucidated pathogenesis, which severely restricts targeted therapy development. Small molecule drugs show unique multitarget potential but face toxicity, poor blood–brain barrier penetration and unclear specificity.

Residue Dynamics of Di-2-ethylhexyl Phthalate in Fathead Minnows (Pimephales promelas)

, 1976
Fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) were continuously exposed to 1.9–62 μg/liter di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) for 56 days. The accumulation factors ranged downward from 886 to 155 as the exposure concentrations increased.

Gender-Specific Adverse Effects of Mono-ethylhexyl Phthalate on Steroidogenesis in Immature Granulosa Cells and Rat Leydig Cell Progenitors in vitro

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2011
Di-2-ethylhexyl (DEHP) phthalate, one of the phthalates most widely distributed in the environment, causes reproductive toxicity that is attributable to the action of its primary metabolite, mono (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP).
