Fetotoxic effects of mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP) in mice.
Mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP), one of the main metabolites of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), exerted embryo/fetotoxic effects similar to those of DEHP at lower doses. Oral administration of MEHP (1 mL/kg) to the mice of 8 days gestation resulted in less than 32% of live fetuses, all of which were deformed. When DEHP (10 mL/kg) was given to the pregnant mice of 8 days gestation, approx...
متن کاملThyroid Endocrine Disruption in Zebrafish Larvae after Exposure to Mono-(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate (MEHP)
Phthalates are extensively used as plasticizers in a variety of daily-life products, resulting in widespread distribution in aquatic environments. However, limited information is available on the endocrine disrupting effects of phthalates in aquatic organisms. The aim of the present study was to examine whether exposure to mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP), the hydrolytic metabolite of di-(2...
متن کاملRadioimmunoassay for mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate in unextracted plasma.
We report a radioimmunoassay for mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate that has been coupled to a protein carrier as a radioligand. Competitive interference tests with a variety of related compounds indicated the assay to be highly specific. Quantitative comparison of mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate values in plasma and serum samples between the radioimmunoassay and gas chromatographic procedures indicat...
متن کاملThe in vitro serum protein-binding characteristics of bis-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and its principal metabolite, mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate.
The metabolism and toxicity of the ubiquitous plasticizer, bis-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), and its principal metabolite, mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP), have been extensively investigated. In an attempt to understand their disposition in man, we studied the in vitro serum protein-binding characteristics of these compounds, using ultracentrifugation and agarose gel electrophoresis. Th...
متن کاملThe endocrine disruptor mono-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate promotes adipocyte differentiation and induces obesity in mice
The environmental obesogen hypothesis proposes that exposure to endocrine disruptors during developmental 'window' contributes to adipogenesis and the development of obesity. MEHP [mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate], a metabolite of the widespread plasticizer DEHP [di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate], has been found in exposed organisms and identified as a selective PPARγ (peroxisome-proliferator-activate...
