This study was conducted to evaluate the use of metabolomics for improving our ability to draw correlations between early life exposures and reproductive and/or developmental outcomes. Pregnant CD rats were exposed by gavage daily during gestation to vehicle or to
In this work, the effects of butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), two of the most extensively used phthalates, were studied in Chironomus riparius under acute short-term treatments, to compare their relative toxicities and identify genes sensitive to
A simple and rapid sample pretreatment procedure based on ultrasound-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction is proposed for the determination of four phthalate esters (dibutyl phthalate, butyl benzyl phthalate, diisooctyl phthalate, dioctyl phthalate) in bottled water samples using gas chromatography-flame ionization detection.

Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), an endocrine disruptor present in the environment, exerts its genomic effects via intracellular steroid receptors and elicits non-genomic effects by interfering with membrane ion-channel receptors. We previously found that BBP blocks the calcium signaling coupled with
Environmental hormones play important roles in regulating the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation, drug resistance, and breast cancer risk; however, their precise role in human breast cancer cells during cancer progression remains unclear. To elucidate the effect of
A sensitive, quantitative, and reproducible SPME-GC/MS procedure was developed by Supelco for the extraction of phthalate esters from oily food matrices, such as the flavored oils included with ramen noodle kits.
