To evaluate the toxicological effect, di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) was administered orally at 100, 500, and 2500 mg/kg to four male and four female marmosets in each group for 13 weeks. Its potentials of hepatic peroxisome proliferation, testicular atrophy, and pancreatic acinar cell hyperplasia
Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) ligand, alters the lipid composition of rat testis, yet the mechanism is unclear. In this study, we investigated the effect of DEHP on the synthesis and metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA), a precursor
The administration of 2g/kg of di(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP)-induced severe testicular atrophy coincident with the reduction of testicular specific lactate dehydrogenase (LDH-X) activity, zinc, magnesium, and potassium concentrations in rats. Co-administration of DEHP and adenosyl cobalamin
The administration of di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) to young male rats was found to cause testicular atrophy and loss of testicular zinc. In an attempt to test the hypothesis that a cause and effect relationship exists between DEHP-induced loss of testicular zinc and testicular injury, zinc was
Dietary administration of di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP, 2% in diet) for 1 week to young male Wistar rats was found to cause testicular atrophy. Zinc (Zn) concentration in the testis and liver of DEHP-treated rats was lower than that in controls. Vitamin A concentration in serum and testis was
Acute testicular atrophy results when appropriate dosages of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) or its hydrolysis product mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP) are given to male rats. Events thought to be involved in this pathological effect also occur in cultures of testicular cells in vitro, but
Daily administration of 2g/kg/day di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) to immature rats was found to cause testicular atrophy and reduce zinc concentration. Specific activities of testicular enzymes associated with postmeiotic spermatogenic cells, such as lactate dehydrogenase isozyme-X, hyaluronidase
It is well known that the oral administration of di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) produces severe seminiferous tubular atrophy in rats, but mice are far less sensitive. In the present experiment, we demonstrated that one strain of mice derived from ICR mice, Crj:CD-1, was very sensitive to
Groups of 48 adult male F344 rats were maintained on synthetic diets containing 20 ppm (normal), 2 ppm (low), or 200 ppm (high) zinc. After 1 week of acclimation to the various diets, groups of 12 rats from each dietary regimen were gavaged for 13 consecutive days with 0.0 (vehicle), 0.33, 1.0, or
Previous studies have shown that di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) results in atrophy of testes and accessory sex organs accompanied by a decreased testicular concentration of zinc in rats. An experiment was performed to determine whether those changes in rat testes are reversible changes. Young
The involvement of testosterone in di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) induced testicular injury has been examined by coadministration of testosterone (1 mg/kg) along with DEHP (2000 mg/kg) daily for 15 days. The coadministration of testosterone and DEHP appears to have prevented the testicular injury
Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), an estrogen-like compound that is a ubiquitous environmental contaminant, has been reported to adversely affect human and mammalian reproduction. Many studies have found that exposure to DEHP during pregnancy perturbs female germ cell meiosis and is detrimental to
Recent in vitro studies have shown that di-2-ethylhexyl-phthalate (DEHP) inhibits the deterioration of RBCs during refrigerated storage in containers that use this compound as a plasticizer. The experiments described in this report were designed to assess whether this in vitro protective effect of
To investigate the effects of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) on gene expression in rat testis, 6-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were given a single oral dose of 20 or 2000 mg/kg and euthanized 3, 6, 24, or 72 h thereafter. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling
In a 90-day toxicity study in rats, di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) produced testicular atrophy. To characterise further the testicular toxicity of phthalate esters the effect of age on the induction of testicular atrophy has been examined as well as the reversibility of the lesions and the
