Induction of testicular atrophy by monoesters of phthalic acid were compared in male Wistar rats. Dietary administration of monobutyl (MBP), mono-iso-butyl (MIBP) and mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP) induced severe atrophy of the testes. Furthermore, high testosterone concentration in the testes
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
Although it is well established that high dose administration of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and its monoester metabolite (MEHP) induces severe testicular atrophy in rats, the mechanisms of this testicular injury is not clear. The present experiment was undertaken to examine the effects of
A continuous breeding protocol was utilized to examine the reproductive toxicity of three phthalate esters. CD-1 mice were given diets with either di-n-propyl phthalate (DPrP: 0.0, 1.25, 2.5, or 5.0%), di-n-pentyl phthalate (DPP: 0.0, 0.5, 1.25, or 2.5%), or di-n-octyl phthalate (DOP: 0.0, 1.25,
Owing to its traditional applications, the current study focuses on Ajuga parviflora (A. parviflora) leaves extract for phytochemical and pharmacological analysis. The principle constituents were identified through gas chromatography (GC), and gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC/MS), these
Butyl benzyl phthalate is a plasticizer added to polymers to give flexibility and softness. It is used extensively in polyvinyl chloride and in cellulose plastics, polyvinyl acetate, polysulfides, and polyurethane. Butyl benzyl phthalate was nominated as part of a class study of phthalates. Previous
Diethylphthalate and dimethylphthalate are used as phthalate plasticizers, in an extensive array of products. The chronic dermal toxicity of diethylphthalate was evaluated in male and female F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice in 2-year studies. In a series of special studies, the tumor initiation or
Dibutyl phthalate is a phthalate ester with extensive use in industry in such products as plastic (PVC) piping, various varnishes and lacquers, safety glass, nail polishes, paper coatings, dental materials, pharmaceuticals, and plastic food wrap. Concomitant with this extensive worldwide use is the
Rhodococcus sp. JDC-11, capable of utilizing di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) as the sole source of carbon and energy, was isolated from sewage sludge and confirmed mainly based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The optimum pH, temperature, and agitation rate for DBP degradation by Rhodococcus sp.
Phthalates are esters of phthalic acid and are mainly used as plasticizers in a wide variety of products and applications. There is no information on butyl cyclohexyl phthalate (BCP) toxicity. This study was performed to evaluate the histopathological effects and to determine oxidative stress
Mono-n-butyl, -iso-butyl, -sec-butyl or -tert-butyl esters of o-phthalic acid were orally administered at 800 mg/kg body wt./day for 6 days, to young male rats. All of the animals except those treated with the mono-tert-ester developed marked testicular atrophy. Additionally, only those isomers
BACKGROUND
The diesters of 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid (phthalic acid), commonly known as phthalates, are used primarily as plasticizers of polyvinyl chloride and as additives in consumer and personal care products.
OBJECTIVE
This study was designed to evaluate the impact of in utero and postnatal
