A review of common non-ortho-phthalate plasticizers for use in food contact materials

Patrick Harmon et al.

Summary: This review summarizes the available toxicity, migration, and human biomonitoring data of several non-ortho phthalate plasticizers used in food packaging and processing. The study demonstrates that these plasticizers have been well-studied and are generally of low toxicity, with minimal adverse effects on human health.

Phthalate metabolites in paired human serum and whole blood

Zhenming Li et al.

Summary: The distribution pattern of phthalate metabolites (PMs) in human blood was investigated in this study. It was found that mono methyl phthalate, mono (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, and mono butyl phthalate were the predominant PMs in both serum and whole blood samples. The mean serum concentrations of PMs were higher in females than males.

IVIVE: Facilitating the Use of In Vitro Toxicity Data in Risk Assessment and Decision Making

Xiaoqing Chang et al.

Summary: Toxicology has transformed from observational to predictive science with the development of new approaches, such as in vitro assays and in silico models. In vitro to in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) is gaining acceptance for risk assessment, and there has been a surge of IVIVE publications in the past decade. This review proposes operational definitions for IVIVE, explores its implications in decision-making processes, and highlights the challenges and future needs for its continued development.

Neuroprotective efficacy of N-t-butylhydroxylamine (NtBHA) in transient focal ischemia in rats

Eun-Sun Kim et al.

Summary: The degradation products of drug candidates have not been studied for their activities during drug development. Ischemic stroke is a major cause of death and disability, but currently only one approved pharmacological therapy is available. NXY-059, a free radical scavenger, showed promising neuroprotective properties in animal models, but its efficacy in clinical trials varied. Some researchers believe that the breakdown product of NXY-059, NtBHA, is the actual neuroprotective agent and that changes in formulation led to its lack of efficacy.

Methylglyoxal-Mediated Dopamine Depletion, Working Memory Deficit, and Depression-Like Behavior Are Prevented by a Dopamine/Noradrenaline Reuptake Inhibitor

Gudrian Ricardo Lopes de Almeida et al.

Summary: MGO, an endogenous toxin produced during glycolysis, has been linked to aging, Alzheimer's disease, and inflammation. In vivo administration of MGO affects monoaminergic systems in the cerebral cortex, leading to depression-like behavior and cognitive impairment. Treatment with a dopamine/noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor can reverse these effects.

Neurovascular Unit: A critical role in ischemic stroke

Liyun Wang et al.

Summary: Ischemic stroke, resulting from sudden blockage of brain blood vessels, has a significant impact on health. Recent studies have highlighted the influence of the neurovascular unit on stroke outcomes, providing new strategies for treatment. The pathophysiology and neurovascular repair processes of IS are closely linked to the homeostatic state of the NVU, suggesting potential expansions in treatment options.

Disruption of the blood-brain barrier and its close environment following adult exposure to low doses of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate alone or in an environmental phthalate mixture in male mice

Delnia Ahmadpour et al.

Summary: Exposure to low doses of DEHP or an environmental phthalate mixture was found to increase BBB permeability, affect glial activation and neuroinflammation in specific brain regions. This suggests that exposure to endocrine disruptors like phthalates may pose a risk to cerebrovascular function.

Integrating in silico with in vivo approach to investigate phthalate and bisphenol A mixture-linked asthma development: Positive probiotic intervention

Katarina Baralic et al.

Summary: The study explored the mechanisms of DEHP, DBP, and BPA mixture-induced asthma, identifying apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress as the main pathways. In vivo experiments showed significant changes in redox status and essential metals mainly in the MIX group, hinting at potential additive effects. In vitro experiments confirmed the probiotic's ability to bind the mixture and ameliorate its effects on rat tissues.

Blood-Brain Barrier Dynamics to Maintain Brain Homeostasis

Marta Segarra et al.

Summary: The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a critical gatekeeper between the blood and the brain parenchyma, maintaining brain homeostasis by dynamically adjusting its tightness. BBB integrity is adjusted at critical stages in life and can be influenced by stressors such as nutrition, environment, and psychological stress.

Mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate drives progression of PINK1-parkin-mediated mitophagy via increasing mitochondrial ROS to exacerbate cytotoxicity

Jian Xu et al.

Summary: MEHP exacerbates cytotoxicity by amplifying the PINK1-Parkin-mediated mitophagy pathway, leading to increased mitochondrial damage and robust mitophagy. Co-treatment with N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) counteracted the effects of MEHP-CCCP, suggesting that mitochondrial ROS played a vital role in this process. The findings provide insights into the potential roles of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in human diseases such as Parkinson's disease.
