Estrogenic activity of octylphenol, nonylphenol, bisphenol A and methoxychlor in rats.
Considerable attention has recently been focused on environmental chemicals that disrupt the reproductive system by altering steroid receptor function. Although numerous in vitro and in vivo methods have been shown to be useful approaches for identifying chemicals that can disrupt reproduction through a direct interaction with the estrogen receptor, it is imperative that the protocols selected ...
متن کاملBisphenol A, 4-tert-Octylphenol, and 4-Nonylphenol in The Gulf of Gdańsk (Southern Baltic)
The organic derivatives of phenol are classed as dangerous compounds, and their presence has been detected in surface water, bottom water, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and mussel as well as liver and muscle of fish from the Gulf of Gdańsk and in liver, muscle, and guano of gulls residing in the coastal zone of this basin. The greatest sources of bisphenol A (BPA), 4-tert-octylphenol (OP), and 4-...
متن کاملNonylphenol isomers differ in estrogenic activity.
Nonylphenol belongs to the most investigated xenohormones acting at the estrogen receptor. Technical nonylphenol contains approximately 20 para-substituted isomers. Because of limitations in testing and quantifying all 20 isomers in the mixture, the linear form, 4n-NP, is often used as a reference substance, even though it is not present in the technical mixture. Here, we report on the synthesi...
متن کاملRemoval of estrogenic activities of bisphenol A and nonylphenol by oxidative enzymes from lignin-degrading basidiomycetes.
Bisphenol A (BPA) and nonylphenol (NP) were treated with manganese peroxidase (MnP) and laccase prepared from the culture of lignin-degrading fungi. Laccase in the presence of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT), the so-called laccase-mediator system, was also applied to remove the estrogenic activity. Both chemicals disappeared in the reaction mixture within a 1-h treatment with MnP but the estrogeni...
متن کاملResearch Article: A rapid approach to assess estrogenic transcriptional activity of bisphenol A in the liver of goldfish
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a synthetic compound widely used in types of consumer goods and medical tools. It has been shown that BPA acts as an endocrine disruptor chemical casuing negative impact on reproductive functions. The present study used an in vitro approach to assess estrogenic transcriptional activity of BPA as a rapid and sensitive method. The cultured pieces of hepatic tissue of goldfish...
