The independent and interactive effects of phthalates exposure and hypertension on the indicators of early renal injury in US adults: Evidence from NHANES 2001-2004

Shaojie Liu et al.

Summary: The association between phthalates and early renal injury in adults, as well as the interactive effects of phthalate and hypertension on early renal injury, were investigated in this study. The findings suggest that certain phthalate metabolites may contribute to increased risks of early renal injury, and that individuals with hypertension may be more susceptible to the renal injury caused by phthalates exposure.

Emerging contaminants migration from pipes used in drinking water distribution systems: a review of the scientific literature

Azam Mohammadi et al.

Summary: This paper reviews the migration of emerging contaminants (ECs) from pipes into water distribution systems and discusses the potential risks and hazards associated with this process. The study found that the type of pipe material plays a crucial role in the migration of ECs, with polymer pipes resulting in the highest concentrations of contaminants in tap water. Microplastics and perfluoroalkyl substances were identified as the contaminants with the highest health risks.

Bisphenol A impairs cognitive function and 5-HT metabolism in adult male mice by modulating the microbiota-gut-brain axis

Yinhua Ni et al.

Summary: The study suggests that Bisphenol A has neurotoxic effects on male mice, including impaired learning and memory, increased neuroinflammation, and damaged blood-brain barrier. However, it has little impact on the cognitive function of female mice, possibly due to microbial differences and the role of estrogen receptors.

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.

Phthalate metabolites: Characterization, toxicities, global distribution, and exposure assessment

Ying-Jie Zhang et al.

Summary: Phthalates, commonly used as plasticizers, have metabolites that may impact human health differently across regions, with Asia, America, and Europe showing variations in exposure levels. Urine is the preferred matrix for assessing phthalate exposure, and more accurate molar fractions of metabolites related to ingested compounds should be collected for different populations in epidemiological or pharmacokinetic studies.

Multisystemic alterations in humans induced by bisphenol A and phthalates: Experimental, epidemiological and clinical studies reveal the need to change health policies

A. Martinez-Ibarra et al.

Summary: Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates, as endocrine-disrupting chemicals, are widely distributed in the environment and can affect cellular proliferation, tissue development, and various physiological processes through interference with hormone synthesis and action. Exposure to these compounds is inevitable and unintentional for humans and living organisms, potentially leading to a wide range of chronic diseases later in life. Monitoring of EDC levels and their impact on human health is crucial for the general population and the healthcare system.

Phthalate exposure in association with the use of personal care products among general population from Shanghai

Jin Qin et al.

Summary: The study in China found a correlation between phthalates and PCPs use, with higher MBzP concentration in frequent PCPs users and lower concentrations of low molecular weight phthalates in some frequent rinse-off PCPs users. Additionally, MEP was positively correlated with frequent use of facial moisturizer, while MEHP and MBzP were positively associated with frequent use of body lotion. The findings suggest that the use of some PCPs, especially leave-on products, could contribute to exposure to certain phthalates.

Exercise prevents the impairment of learning and memory in prenatally phthalate-exposed male rats by improving the expression of plasticity-related proteins

Gwo-Ching Sun et al.

Summary: Regular exercise has been shown to enhance neuroplasticity and improve functional outcomes after brain injuries. This study investigated the impact of prenatal DEHP exposure on hippocampal Arc expression and the protective role of exercise in male rats exposed to DEHP. The results demonstrated that DEHP exposure led to impaired spatial learning and memory, along with down-regulation of BDNF, NMDAR, Arc, and synaptophysin. However, aerobic exercise during childhood-adolescence prevented these impairments by restoring the expression of key proteins related to neuroplasticity.

Long-term Dietary Flavonoid Intake and Subjective Cognitive Decline in US Men and Women

Tian-Shin Yeh et al.

Summary: The study found that higher intake of dietary flavonoids was associated with a lower risk of subjective cognitive decline (SCD), especially for flavones, flavanones, and anthocyanins. This suggests that consuming foods rich in flavonoids, such as strawberries, oranges, and citrus juices, may help maintain cognitive function in US men and women.

Long-term Dietary Flavonoid Intake and Subjective Cognitive Decline in US Men and Women

Tian-Shin Yeh et al.

Summary: Higher intake of dietary flavonoids, especially flavonols, flavanones, and anthocyanins, was associated with lower odds of subjective cognitive decline (SCD). Foods rich in flavonoids, such as strawberries, oranges, grapefruits, and apples, were significantly associated with reduced risk of SCD. These findings suggest a potential benefit of consuming flavonoid-rich foods for maintaining cognitive function.
