Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health threat of growing concern. Recently, exposure to endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) such as phthalates and bisphenol A has been suggested risk factor for CKD. However, most epidemiological studies have focused on limited number urinary chemicals. This study aimed identify chemical determinants the albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), which function marker, among multiple major EDCs including phthalate metabolites, bisphenols, benzophenones in...
Background and objectives Exposure to environmental chemicals has been recognized as one of the possible contributors CKD. We aimed identify that are associated with Design, setting, participants, & measurements analyzed data obtained from a total 46,748 adults who participated in National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (1999–2016). Associations measured urine or blood ( n =262) albuminuria (urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥30 mg/g), reduced eGFR (<60 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 ),...
Phthalates are widely used in consumer products and well-known for adverse endocrine outcomes. Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), one of the most extensively phthalates, has been rapidly substituted with alternative plasticizers many products. The aim this study was to assess urinary plasticizer exposure associated risks children three Asian countries different geographical, climate, cultural characteristics. Children were recruited from elementary schools Saudi Arabia (n = 109), Thailand...
Nonylphenol (NP) is an endocrine disruptor and environmental contaminant. Yet, data on individual body burdens potential health risks in humans, especially among children, are scarce. We analyzed two specific urinary NP metabolites, hydroxy-NP (OH-NP) oxo-NP. In contrast to parent NP, OH-NP has a much higher excretion fraction (Fue), both insusceptible external contamination. investigated spot urine samples from school children of Thailand (n = 104), Indonesia 89), Saudi Arabia 108) could...
Exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) has been reported as a potential risk factor for diabetes in adults. However, effect modifications by sex and age, especially among Asian populations, have seldom investigated. In the present study, we assessed associations of major POPs exposure including organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), with Korean adults (n = 1,295), subset National Environmental Health Survey...
Phthalates are chemical risk factors of chronic kidney disease (CKD); however, little is known about temporal trends phthalate exposure and associated health risks among CKD patients. Such information even scarce for alternative plasticizers. patients were recruited from 2011 to 2020 in Korea (
Decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) and 1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromo-phenoxy) (BTBPE) are novel brominated flame retardants (NBFRs) have been detected in variety of environment biota. Although sex endocrine-disrupting potential has suggested experimental studies, their adverse effects on steroid hormones underlying mechanisms largely unclear. The purpose the present study is to investigate hormone-disrupting two NBFRs using vivo vitro models together. For this, male zebrafish (Danio rerio) along with...
Di(2-ethylhexy) phthalate (DEHP) is a widely used plasticizer that ubiquitously found in the environment. Using mouse model, we investigated impact of early life DEHP exposure ranging from prenatal to peripubertal developmental period female reproductive system. Pregnant mice were allocated three groups as follows: control, 100 mg/kg/day, and 500 mg/kg/day treatment. was introduced through feeding during pregnancy (3 weeks) lactation weeks). After weaning, offspring also exposed for another...
Toxicologists face several challenges when communicating with the public about potential risks of chemical substances in consumer products. However, based on consumers' scepticism and detachment from use manufacturing goods, evidence is needed how this communication can be improved. Hence, goal study was to experimentally check effect an informational video acceptance trace chemicals products, their willingness purchase finally, perception dose-response mechanism. For this, developed...
Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze the frequency brass audition pieces for admission music colleges over past five years, from 2020 2024, and explore educational implications students. Methods To end, we at universities such as Kyung Hee University, Seoul National Yonsei Ewha Womans Korea University Arts, Hanyang which are that designate pieces. Results First, repertoire instrument very limited. Second, do not include enough etudes can identify student's basic performance...
