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, EarlyView.
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.

Eicosapentaenoic and Docosahexaenoic Acid Levels in Mouse Tissues After Intake of Echium and Ahiflower Oils Rich in Stearidonic and α‐Linolenic Acids

Lipids, EarlyView.
Dietary supplementation with stearidonic acid–rich Echium and Ahiflower oils increases EPA levels across multiple mouse tissues, while DHA responses remain tissue‐specific and limited, supporting the strategic use of plant‐based omega‐3 sources for EPA‐focused interventions. ABSTRACT Omega‐3 fatty acids (n‐3 FA), particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
