A ubiquitous endocrine disruptor tributyltin induces muscle wasting and retards muscle regeneration

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2023
Background Organotin pollutant tributyltin (TBT) is an environmental endocrine disrupting chemical and is a known obesogen and diabetogen. TBT can be detected in human following consumption of contaminated seafood or water.

Effects of microplastics (MPs) and tributyltin (TBT) alone and in combination on bile acids and gut microbiota crosstalk in mice

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Microplastics (MPs) and tributyltin (TBT) are both potential environmental pollutants that enter organisms through the food chain and affect bodily functions. However, the effects and mechanisms of MPs and TBT exposure (especially the co-exposure of both

Cytoskeleton Alterations by Tributyltin (TBT) in Tunicate Phagocytes [PDF]

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 1998
The effects of tributyltin chloride (TBT) on cytoskeletal components, as possible cell targets of toxicity, were examined on cultured hemocytes of the colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri by means of indirect immunofluorescence. The immunotoxic effect of 10 microM TBT (sublethal concentration) consists of (1) inhibition of yeast phagocytosis, Ca2 ...

Phase‐Change‐Activated Slippery Organogel Composite for All‐in‐One Anti‐Corrosion, Antifouling, and Self‐Cleaning

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A super‐slippery liquid‐infused composite organogel is engineered by localized interfacial grafting between hydrogel and oleogel networks, endowing the coating with a durable, multifunctional marine‐protective interface. Dynamic antifouling surfaces have emerged as a promising alternative, offering the potential for eco‐friendly and high‐performance ...

Natural Anthraquinone‐Like Compound Extracted from Green Husk of Walnut Improves Photocatalytic H2O2 Production Catalyzed by TiO2 Nanoparticles

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
In this work, a novel biomolecule/semiconductor hybrid catalyst was prepared by loading anthraquinone‐liked juglone onto anatase TiO2. This catalyst exhibited high photocatalytic activity for H2O2 production. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a vital oxidant with broad industrial applications, and its production via photocatalysis represents a highly ...

Tributyltin chloride (TBT) induces RXRA down-regulation and lipid accumulation in human liver cells.

PLoS ONE, 2019
A subset of environmental chemicals acts as "obesogens" as they increase adipose mass and lipid content in livers of treated rodents. One of the most studied class of obesogens are the tin-containing chemicals that have as a central moiety tributyltin ...

Effect of Nanosilica Aggregates/Agglomerates on Functional Properties of Poly(Butylene 2,5‐Furandicarboxylate)‐Based Nanocomposites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Effect of nanosilica aggregates/agglomerates on oxygen and water vapor diffusivity of PBF/SiO2 nanocomposites. ABSTRACT The nanofillers inclusions in poly(butylene 2,5‐furandicarboxylate) (PBF)/SiO2 nanocomposites were found to consist of aggregates and agglomerates of nanosilica particles.

Enhancing Tea Agrifood System Resilience Amid Geopolitical Tensions: A Resource Nexus‐Based System Dynamics Analysis

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Geopolitical conflicts are increasingly threatening global food security, economic stability, and peace, impacting Tanzania's tea agrifood system. This study develops a quantitative Resource Nexus‐based system dynamics simulation model assessing the feedbacks and interdependencies among key environmental and socioeconomic resources shaping ...

Effects of Tributyltin Chloride on Human Neuronal Differentiation and Mice Brain Development

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT According to the developmental origins of health and disease hypothesis, perinatal exposure to an environmental toxicant during the development of the nervous system could cause a permanent cellular modification that may promote the appearance of neurodegenerative diseases at an older age.
