Increase in hepatic ubiquinone on administration of diethylhexyl phthalate to the rat

Journal of Biosciences, 1987
It is shown for the first time that the content of ubiquinone of liver increases (2.5 fold) on dietary administration of the widely-used industrial Plasticizer diethylhexyl Phthalate to the rat. The increase is localized almost entirely in mitochondria in which the concentration of the quinone Per mg Protein is 1.7 times the control.

Cellular and hormonal disruption of fetal testis development in sheep reared on pasture treated with sewage sludge

, 2005
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether experimental exposure of pregnant sheep to a mixture of environmental chemicals added to pasture as sewage sludge (n = 9 treated animals) exerted effects on fetal testis development or function ...

Aerobic degradation of diethyl phthalate by Sphingomonas sp.

, 2007
An aerobic diethyl phthalate (DEP) degrading bacterium, DEP-AD1, was isolated from activated sludge. Based on its 16S rDNA sequence, this isolate was identified belonging to Sphingomonas genus with 99% similarity to Sphingomonas sp. strain C28242 and 98%

Tracing of Di-Ethylhexyl Phthalate in the Tequila Production Process

Foods
The purpose of this study was to determine the origin, presence, and fate of the endocrine disruptor di-ethylhexil phthalate (DEHP) during tequila production. For this, three tequila factories (small, medium, and large) were monitored.

Fabrication of macroporous POMs/biochar materials for fast degradation of phthalic acid esters through adsorption coupled with aerobic oxidation

Polyoxometalates
Macroporous H5PMo10V2O40(n)/biochar (abbreviated as HPMoV(n)/biochar, where n is the loading amount of HPMo: 12 wt.%, 28 wt.%, 44 wt.%, 53 wt.%, and 63 wt.%) were fabricated from popcorn biocarbon and H5PMo10V2O40.

Mitochondrial permeability and toxicity of diethylhexyl and monoethylhexyl phthalates on TK6 human lymphoblasts cells [PDF]

Toxicology in Vitro, 2011
Phthalates are ubiquitous compounds used in the manufacturing industry. Some are known endocrine disruptors, acting as xenoestrogens, others induce reproductive toxicity and damage to DNA among other effects. Studies on apoptosis induction and mitochondrial damage capacity of phthalates on the immune system are limited.

Study on the distribution of phthalates esters in a regenerated water plant: a case study

Water Research X
This study systematically investigated the distribution patterns, migration characteristics, and removal efficiencies of three typical phthalate esters: dibutyl phthalate(DBP), diethyl phthalate(DEP), and diethylhexyl phthalate(DEHP) during a regenerated
