Protective effect of Anoectochilus burmannicus extracts and its active compound, kinsenoside on adipocyte differentiation induced by benzyl butyl phthalate and bisphenol A

Scientific Reports, 2023
Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) and bisphenol-A (BPA) are obesogens that have been reported to be associated with obesity. Inhibition of their adipogenic activity could decrease the risk of obesity-related metabolic disorders.

Beyond Deterministic Fetal Programming: Intrauterine Exposures and the Multifactorial Origins of Adiposity

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excess adiposity is not a recently developed problem but has existed since at least the upper Paleolithic, allowing evolutionary selection pressures to adapt the physiology of the pregnant woman and the feto‐placental unit for maternal and fetal protection.

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.

Exposure to Metal Mixtures and Childhood Adiposity: An Examination of Periods of Heightened Susceptibility Between Gestation and Late Childhood

Pediatric Obesity, Volume 20, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Childhood obesity is a public health concern. Studies have investigated the effects of metal mixtures on childhood obesity but none have identified periods of heightened susceptibility of exposure. We identified the periods by investigating the association of metal mixture, measured at four time points, with adiposity.

Association Between Perfluoroalkyl Substance (PFAS) Exposure and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Korean Adults: Results From the KoNEHS 2018–2020: A Cross‐Sectional Study

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 68, Issue 7, Page 588-597, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major public health problem and the most common chronic liver disease today. In Korea, the prevalence and incidence of NAFLD are currently very high, causing a serious social burden. Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been consistently implicated as a potential cause of NAFLD, but ...
