Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of maternal exposure to butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) on the development of the reproductive system in male offspring. Pregnant rats were given BBP by gastric intubation at 250, 500, or 1000 mg/kg on days 15 to 17 of pregnancy. A significant decrease in maternal body weight gain and food consumption was found in rats given BBP at 500 and 1000 mg/kg. A significant decrease in the number of live fetuses per litter was found at 1000 mg/kg. The weights of male and female fetuses were significantly decreased in the groups given BBP at 1000 mg/kg. A significant increase in the incidence of fetuses with undescended testes was found at 500 and 1000 mg/kg. A significant decrease in the anogenital distance (AGD) of male fetuses was observed at 500 and 1000 mg/kg. The AGD/cube root of body weight ratio in male fetuses was also significantly reduced at 500 mg/kg and higher. The AGD and AGD/cube root of body weight ratio of female fetuses in the BBP-treated groups were comparable to those in the control group. It was concluded that BBP on days 15 to 17 of pregnancy produced adverse effects on the development of the reproductive system in male offspring.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
