Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) on male ICR mice, particularly focusing on the testes, liver, kidneys, and pancreas after 10 days of exposure to a 2% DEHP diet.
- Results demonstrated severe damage to spermatogenesis and liver function, with high levels of nitrogen oxides and lipid peroxidation detected in the testes, indicating stress from free radicals.
- The findings suggest that the detrimental effects on sperm production are due to the sensitivity of testicular tissues to mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP), not its accumulation in the testes.
