Mode‐of‐Action and Human Relevance Assessment for Diisononyl Phthalate‐Induced Liver Tumors in Rodents

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diisononyl phthalate (DINP) is a high molecular weight phthalate and high production volume chemical. DINP's carcinogenic potential has been investigated in four rodent bioassays, with liver tumors observed in three of the studies. Authoritative assessments have hypothesized that DINP acts through the peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

Toxic Effects of Bisphenol A and Its Analogs on Ovarian Structure and Function: A Narrative Review of Ovary‐Focused Studies

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely used industrial chemical found in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins and is recognized for its endocrine‐disrupting properties. Human exposure is common due to its presence in food packaging and everyday products. As BPA use has been restricted, structurally similar compounds such as BPS, BPB, BPAF, and BADGE

Garlic Alleviates the Injurious Impact of Cyclosporine-A in Male Rats through Modulation of Fibrogenic and Steroidogenic Genes

Animals, 2020
This work aimed to study the hepato-testicular protective effect of garlic in rats treated with cyclosporine A (CsA). Forty male Westar albino rats were randomly distributed in five groups (8 rats each): control, olive oil, garlic, CsA, and CsA co ...

Low‐Dose Chlorothalonil Induces Testicular Injury Through Disruption of Steroidogenic Signaling in Adult Male Mice

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chlorothalonil (CHL) is a widely used organochlorine fungicide frequently detected in environmental and food matrices. Although increasing evidence indicates adverse effects in nontarget species, the mechanisms underlying CHL‐induced male reproductive toxicity remain incompletely understood.

Potential Neuroendocrine Disruption by Benzodiazepines and Its Impact on Male Fertility

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neuroactive substances have emerged as potent endocrine disruptors affecting male reproductive health through central and peripheral mechanisms. Among these, benzodiazepines, which are widely used for the management of anxiety, insomnia, epilepsy, and neuromuscular disorders, are known as GABA A (gamma‐aminobutyric acid type A) receptor ...

Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein in follicular fluid is associated with the follicular inflammatory status and granulosa cell steroidogenesis in dairy cows

The Journal of Reproduction and Development
Metabolic stress and subsequent hepatic dysfunction in high-producing dairy cows are associated with inflammatory diseases and declining fertility. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-binding protein (LBP) is produced by hepatocytes and controls the immune response,

Effect of xenobiotic compounds on steroidogenesis in humans [PDF]

, 2023
Gonadal steroids are crucial hormones responsible for the proper functioning and growth of the body. The sex hormones are produced in the adrenal glands and gonads by a process called steroidogenesis.
