The vertical profiles of nonylphenol (NP) and nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEOs) were investigated in a sediment core from the Beipaiming Channel, North China using high sensitive LC-MS and GC-MS methods. In this core, relatively high concentrations of NP and NPEOs occurred in the surface sediment (< or = 40 cm), with the maximum value of NP and NPEOs reaching 3539 and 12735 ng/g, respectively, wh...

We investigated the influence of potential laccase inducers with environmental relevance on extracellular laccase activity and removal of the xenoestrogen technical nonylphenol (tNP) by the aquatic hyphomycete Clavariopsis aquatica. Concomitantly, we identified two putative laccase gene fragments (Icc1 and Icc2) and have followed their expression during removal of tNP under different conditions...

Two lamps, including simulated sunlight lamp and UVA-365 nm lamp, were used to study the kinetics and changes of component distribution of NPEOs mixture in solution during photodegradation, as well as the effect of H2O2 on the photodegradation. LC-MS was used to analyze the products of NPEOs photodegradation. It was found that photodegradation of NPEOs occurred under both simulated sunlight and...

Nonylphenol (NP) is a bioaccumulative environmental estrogen that widely used as nonionic surfactant. We have previously examined short-term effects of NP on yeast cells using microarray technology. In the present study, we investigated adaptive response Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4742 to exposure by analyzing genome-wide transcriptional profiles RNA-sequencing. 2 mg/L concentration for 40 days...

background: human breast milk is the most important food for infants and one of the main roads to exposure to toxic substances. in this study, nonylphenol (np) levels in human milk samples collected from turkish mothers (n=100) were determined, and the factors including mothers’ demographics, eating habits, obstetric histories, and usage of cleaning and cosmetic products were examined. methods:...

background: para-nonylphenol (p-np) is able to induce malformations in male reproductive system. objective: the aim of this study was to investigate the preventing role of vitamin e (vit.e) on sperm parameters and reproductive hormones in developing rats. materials and methods: pregnant rats were divided into 4 groups: control p-np vit.e and p-np+vit.e. treatments were performed on day 7 of ges...
