Benzene Exposure Near the U.S. Permissible Limit Is Associated with Sperm Aneuploidy
BACKGROUND Benzene is a common industrial chemical known to induce leukemia and other blood disorders, as well as aneuploidy, in both human blood cells and sperm at exposures > 10 ppm. Recent reports have identified health effects at exposure levels < 1 ppm, the permissible exposure limit (PEL; 8 hr) set by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration. OBJECTIVE We investigated whet...
متن کاملBenzene exposure is associated with cardiovascular disease risk
Benzene is a ubiquitous, volatile pollutant present at high concentrations in toxins (e.g. tobacco smoke) known to increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Despite its prevalence, the cardiovascular effects of benzene have rarely been studied. Hence, we examined whether exposure to benzene is associated with increased CVD risk. The effects of benzene exposure in mice were assessed by direct ...
متن کاملLower sperm aneuploidy frequency is associated with high pregnancy rates in ICSI programmes.
BACKGROUND A large proportion of patients undergoing ICSI have been shown to have an increased sperm aneuploidy rate. This study was undertaken to evaluate the impact of sperm aneuploidy on ICSI outcome. METHODS To accomplish this, 48 consecutive unselected male patients (median age 34 years) had their sperm aneuploidy rate evaluated in the same swim-up preparation used for ICSI. Chromosomes ...
متن کاملMorphological nuclear integrity of sperm cells is associated with preimplantation genetic aneuploidy screening cycle outcomes.
OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of sperm morphology on embryo development at the chromosomal level. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Assisted fertilization center. PATIENT(S) Couples who underwent IVF-PGS cycle, as a result of advanced maternal age, were randomly allocated into two groups: intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI; n = 60) or intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm ...
متن کاملOccupational Exposure to Benzene and Chromosomal Structural Aberrations in the Sperm of Chinese Men
BACKGROUND Benzene is an industrial chemical that causes blood disorders, including acute myeloid leukemia. We previously reported that occupational exposures near the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration permissible exposure limit (8 hr) of 1 ppm was associated with sperm aneuploidy. OBJECTIVE We investigated whether occupational exposures near 1 ppm increase the incidence of s...
