Associations of perfluorooctane sulfonate alternatives and serum lipids in Chinese adults

Environment International, 2021
Background: Chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonic acids (Cl-PFESAs), a group of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) alternatives, can be widely observed in humans and environmental matrices. However, associations between exposure to Cl-PFESAs and serum

Short-term perfluorooctane sulfonate exposure impairs Leydig cell regeneration in the adult rat testis via targeting hedgehog signaling

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Perfluorooctane sulfonate is related to male reproductive dysfunction in rats and humans. However, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. Here, we reported the effects of short-term exposure to perfluorooctane sulfonate on the regeneration of Leydig ...

Determinants of serum half-lives for linear and branched perfluoroalkyl substances after long-term high exposure—A study in Ronneby, Sweden

Environment International, 2022
Background: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent substances with surfactant and repellent properties. Municipal drinking water contaminated with PFAS had been distributed for decades to one third of households in Ronneby, Sweden. The
