Could the Risk of Chronic Degenerative Valve Disease (CDVD) in Dogs Depend on Exposure to Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals Polluting the Environment?

Animals
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) pollute the environment and food, adversely affecting living organisms. It is known that exposure to EDCs increases the risk of various diseases in humans, but in veterinary medicine, the pathogenic impact of these ...

Perfluorooctanoic acid exposure triggers oxidative stress in the mouse pancreas

Toxicology Reports, 2014
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is used in the manufacture of many industrial and commercial products. PFOA does not readily decompose in the environment, and is biologically persistent.

Biomonitoring equivalents for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) for the interpretation of biomonitoring data

Environment International, 2023
Background: Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is detected in the blood of virtually all biomonitoring study participants. Assessing health risks associated with blood PFOA levels is challenging because exposure guidance values (EGVs) are typically expressed ...

Adsorption of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) by aluminum-based drinking water treatment residuals

, 2021
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) represent a family of emerging persistent organic pollutants. Cost-effective remediation of PFAS contamination via chemical or biochemical degradation is challenging due to their extremely high stability.

Accumulation of perfluoroalkyl substances in human tissues

Environment International, 2013
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are environmental pollutants with an important bioaccumulation potential. However, their metabolism and distribution in humans are not well studied.

Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Knee Osteoarthritis: Data From the Osteoarthritis Initiative

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective To examine whether concentrations of specific per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and a mixture of PFAS relate to incident knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and knee pain progression. Methods Among a case‐cohort sample from the OA Initiative (n = 1,878), we examined associations of serum concentrations of eight PFAS with odds of developing ...

Concentrations of endocrine disrupting chemicals in newborn blood spots and infant outcomes in the upstate KIDS study

Environment International, 2018
Background: Novel methodologies to quantify infant exposures to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) for population-based studies are needed. Objectives: We used newborn dried blood spots to quantify three EDCs and their associations with infant ...

Integrative omics analysis reveals the protective role of vitamin C on perfluorooctanoic acid-induced hepatoxicity

Journal of Advanced Research, 2022
Introduction: Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a compound used as an industrial surfactant in chemical processes worldwide. Population and cross-sectional studies have demonstrated positive correlations between PFOA levels and human health problems ...

Diffusion of Carbamazepine in Hydrophobic Zeolites: A Comparative Study Using Classical and Machine‐Learned Potentials

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Can hydrophobic, shape‐selective zeolites efficiently remove the persistent pharmaceutical CBZ from water? This work moves beyond the static picture of interaction energies by modeling diffusion with umbrella sampling and machine‐learned potentials. Even high intrinsic diffusion barriers can be overcome through exergonic adsorption from water, yielding

Single Atom‐Modified TiO2‐Based Catalysts for Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting: From Fundamentals to Future Prospects

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Hydrogen and oxygen generated from water splitting process by photoelectrocatalysis of single atom modified TiO2 based photoelectrocatalysts. The accelerating demand for green hydrogen has intensified the development of efficient and durable photoelectrocatalysts (PECs) for sustainable water splitting.
