Neuroendocrine regulation is disrupted by di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) when exposure occurs during the critical periods of fetal development, which can lead to neurological disorders. To evaluate the toxic potential of DBP, it is necessary to conduct teratological studies, which could determine impacts on the development of the fetus. The present study was designed to understand the sequelae of neuroendocrine regulation in one-month-old pups when rats were exposed to DBP (F-F) and during lactation.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates Ho-doped Ca(VO) phosphors intended for use in solid-state lighting, utilizing an optimized citrate-based sol-gel process to create desirable sheet-like structures.
  • The research identifies a significant UV absorption at 371 nm, a corresponding band gap of 3.28 eV, and confirms robust green emission at 541 nm when excited at 451 nm, with optimal doping at 0.05 mol.
  • The analysis includes concentration quenching due to dipole-dipole interactions and calculated Judd-Ofelt parameters, indicating that these phosphors have promising characteristics for efficient green-emitting devices in lighting and display technologies.

Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), one of the plasticizers, is considered a ubiquitous environmental contaminant due to its widespread application in personal-care products and serves as a raw material in many industries for the generation of many plastic products. Several scientific investigations have shown that DBP caused embryotoxicity and cognitive impairments. However, there is less understanding of the genotoxic potential of DBP in neuronal tissue when exposure happens continuously for several generations.

, of the Bignoniaceae family, has various ethnomedical uses such as an astringent, anti-inflammatory, anti-bronchitis, anti-helminthic and anti-microbial, including anticancer properties. The druggability of OI stem bark extract was determined by its molecular docking interactions with PARP and Caspase-3, two proteins involved in cell survival and death. Note that 50 µg/mL of extract (OIE) showed a significant ( < 0.

Exosomes are the master transporters of genes, RNAs, microRNAs, proteins, and lipids. They have applications in major diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, and diabetes mellitus. Delivery of the exosomes to recipient cells is governed by the functional heterogenicity of the tissues.
