Reproductive and developmental F1 toxicity following exposure of pubescent F0 male mice to bisphenol A alone and in a combination with X-rays irradiation.

Exposure to environmental toxicants may affect reproduction and development of subsequent generations. This study was aimed at determining the male-mediated F1 effects induced following 8-weeks of subchronic exposure of F0 male mice to bisphenol A (BPA) alone and in a combination with X-rays irradiation (IR) started during their puberty. 4.

The effect of preconceptional exposure of F0 male mice to di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate on the induction of reproductive toxicity in F2 generation.

The aim of the study was the estimation of the effects of 8 weeks exposure mature and pubescent male mice to DEHP on the prenatal development of the offspring F2 generation. The F1 offspring, of males exposed for whole cycle of spermatogenesis to DEHP (2000 mg/kg bw or 8000 mg/kg bw) and unexposed females, at 8-9 weeks of age were caged males with females from the same group, but from different litter. Eight weeks preconceptional exposure of mature F0 males to 2000 mg/kg bw DEHP induced the significantly higher number of dead fetuses in the F2 offspring; however, the effect on the sperm count and quality of F1 males was not seen.

Three generation study of reproductive and developmental toxicity following exposure of pubescent F0 male mice to di-n-butyl phthalate.

Humans are exposed to phthalates continuously throughout life. The aim of this study was to evaluate the genotoxic effects induced in male mice following 8 weeks of subchronic exposure to di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) during their puberty and to investigate the possibility of transmission of mutations to subsequent generations via the sperm. Pzh:Sfis outbred male mice aged 4.

Male-mediated F1 effects in mice exposed to bisphenol A, either alone or in combination with X-irradiation.

We investigated the possible transmission of heritable changes via the sperm, following preconceptional exposure of mice to bisphenol A (BPA), either alone or in combination with X-irradiation. Males were exposed for 8 weeks to BPA, X-rays or both agents, and mated to unexposed females. Pre- and postnatal development of the offspring of exposed males was examined.

Comparison of the effects of bisphenol A alone and in a combination with X-irradiation on sperm count and quality in male adult and pubescent mice.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is employed in the manufacturing of epoxy, polyester-styrene, and polycarbonate resins, which are used for the production of baby and water bottles and reusable containers, food and beverage packing, dental fillings and sealants. The study was designed to examine the effects of 8-week exposure (a full cycle of spermatogenesis) to BPA alone and in a combination with X-irradiation on the reproductive organs and germ cells of adult and pubescent male mice. Pzh:Sfis male mice were exposed to BPA (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg) or X-rays (0.
