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

Human amniotic fluid-based exposure levels of phthalates and bisphenol A mixture reduce INSL3/RXFP2 signaling

Environment International, 2020
Background: The presence of chemical pollutants in the environment can affect human health. Epidemiological and in vivo experimental studies reveal reprotoxic effects (undescended testis) of phthalates (diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate ...

Chitosan/Alginate‐Loaded Astragalus hamosus Shows Ameliorative Effects on Lipid Profile, Inflammatory and Hormonal Parameters, and Reduces miRNA‐222 Expression in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Rats

Reproductive Medicine and Biology, Volume 24, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Purpose This study investigated the therapeutic effects of Chitosan/Alginate‐loaded Astragalus hamosus extract (Chn/Al‐AH) on the expression of miRNA‐222 and ESR1 genes, inflammatory cytokines, lipid profile, and reproductive hormones in a rat model of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) induced by estradiol valerate (EV).

The environmental costs of clean cycles: Quantitative analysis for the case of PVC window profile recycling in Germany

Journal of Industrial Ecology, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 1755-1770, December 2024.
Abstract Recycling schemes for long‐lived products are challenged by the presence of “legacy substances,” which have been used in production in the past, but are nowadays classified as substances of concern. This study quantitatively evaluates the trade‐offs between phasing out legacy substances, increasing circularity levels, and reducing life cycle ...

Endocrine disruption of adipose physiology: Screening in SGBS cells

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 44, Issue 11, Page 1784-1792, November 2024.
Abstract The increasing use of industrial chemicals has raised concerns regarding exposure to endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which interfere with developmental, reproductive and metabolic processes. Of particular concern is their interaction with adipose tissue, a vital component of the endocrine system regulating metabolic and hormonal ...

Metabolic disrupting chemicals in the intestine: the need for biologically relevant models

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 14, Issue 9, Page 1397-1419, September 2024.
In this review, we aimed to study how the intestine may be disrupted by metabolic endocrine disruptors (MDCs) both in its own metabolism and in its relationships with other organs. Zebrafish shares numerous similarities with human gastrointestinal tract, representing an opportunity to study the complex interactions of MDCs at the intestinal level and ...

Influence of Programming and Recovery Parameters on Compressive Behaviors of 4D‐Printed Biocompatible Polyvinyl Chloride or Vinyl–Poly(ε‐Caprolactone) Blends

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 26, Issue 12, June 2024.
This work introduces a new class of biocompatible shape‐memory polymers by blending polyvinyl chloride or vinyl and PCL. Thermomechanical and morphological analyses reveal their excellent 4D printability and performance in terms of programmability, compressive shape recovery, shape fixity, working temperature, and stress relaxation.

Environmental chemicals in dog testes reflect their geographical source and may be associated with altered pathology

Scientific Reports, 2021
In humans and dogs, a temporal decline in semen quality and increased incidence of testicular cancer is hypothesised to be associated with exposure to anthropogenic chemicals, particularly during fetal development. Human studies suggest that differential
