Exposure to perfluorooctane sulfonate in utero reduces testosterone production in rat fetal Leydig cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundPerfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a synthetic material that has been widely used in industrial applications for decades. Exposure to PFOS has been associated with decreased adult testosterone level, and Leydig cell impairment during the time ...

Capabilities of bio-binding, antioxidant and intestinal environmental repair jointly determine the ability of lactic acid bacteria to mitigate perfluorooctane sulfonate toxicity

Environment International, 2022
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a novel environmental contaminant that can be enriched in humans through the food chain, causing liver diseases, neurotoxicity and metabolic disorders. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are safe food-grade microorganisms that

Propensity of Tagetes erecta L., a Medicinal Plant Commonly Used in Diabetes Management, to Accumulate Perfluoroalkyl Substances

Toxics, 2019
It has been extensively demonstrated that plants accumulate organic substances emanating from various sources, including soil and water. This fact suggests the potentiality of contamination of certain vital bioresources, such as medicinal plants, by ...

Isomer-specific binding affinity of perfluoroalkyl substances with red blood cells

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
s: Wide presence of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in human blood has attracted great attention. Interactions of PFASs with serum proteins have been well investigated, but with red blood cells (RBCs), a nonnegligible cellular constituent of blood ...

Linear isomer but not branched isomers of perfluorooctane sulfonate in plasma is associated with eicosapentaenoic acid, a seafood consumption biomarker

Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine
Background: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are global contaminants. Seafood consumption is a possible PFAS exposure route to humans while the isomer specific analysis has not been conducted.

Associations of per-/polyfluoroalkyl substances with glucocorticoids and progestogens in newborns

Environment International, 2020
Background: Exposure to per-/polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) can disrupt endocrine hormones in humans. Prior studies have focused on the harmful effects of the two traditional per-/polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS ...

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a novel environmental pollutant, induces liver injury in mice by activating hepatocyte ferroptosis

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
Objective: We investigated the toxicological mechanism by which perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) induces liver injury via ferroptosis. Methods: Primary mouse hepatocytes were treated with LD50 = 55 M PFOS. Their cytotoxicity was detected by CCK-8 and LDH
