Dietary Intervention and DEHP Reduction

A 380 volume 119 | number 9 | September 2011 • Environmental Health Perspectives was present in 59% of the patients; recurrent infections during childhood were common; 20% required amigdalectomy. One patient suffered rheumatic fever; one patient had not been effectively immunized after repeated hepatitis vaccines; and another had defective CD4 and suffered recurrent pneumo coccal infections. It...

Migration of di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) and diisononyl phthalate (DINP) from PVC articles

Zusammenfassung DEHP und DINP sind Primärweichmacher, die in vielen Weich-PVC-Artikeln wie Beißringen für Kleinkinder eingesetzt werden. Die Ultraschallbad-Extraktion scheint gut geeignet zur Bestimmung der Migration von Phthalaten aus Kunststoff-Gegenständen und liefert Werte, wie sie auch beim Saugen mit Testpersonen erhalten worden waren. Die höheren Migrationsraten, die beim Kauen der Kunst...

PPARα- and DEHP-Induced Cancers

Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) is a widely used plasticizer and a potentially nongenotoxic carcinogen. Its mechanism had been earlier proposed based on peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) because metabolites of DEHP are agonists. However, recent evidence also suggests the involvement of non-PPARalpha multiple pathway in DEHP-induced carcinogenesis. Since there are dif...
