Serum metabolome and liver transcriptome reveal acrolein inhalation-induced sex-specific homeostatic dysfunction

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Acrolein, a respiratory irritant, induces systemic neuroendocrine stress. However, peripheral metabolic effects have not been examined. Male and female WKY rats were exposed to air (0 ppm) or acrolein (3.16 ppm) for 4 h, followed by immediate serum and ...

A mixture of 15 phthalates and pesticides below individual chemical no observed adverse effect levels (NOAELs) produces reproductive tract malformations in the male rat

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2021
Humans carry residues of multiple synthetic chemicals at any given point in time. Research has demonstrated that compounds with varying molecular initiating events (MIE) that disrupt common key events can act in concert to produce cumulative adverse ...

Differential transcriptomic alterations in nasal versus lung tissue of acrolein-exposed rats

open access: yesFrontiers in Toxicology, 2023
Introduction: Acrolein is a significant component of anthropogenic and wildfire emissions, as well as cigarette smoke. Although acrolein primarily deposits in the upper respiratory tract upon inhalation, patterns of site-specific injury in nasal versus ...
