Background: Perfluorooctane sulfonates (PFOS) are persistent environmental pollutants linked to developmental toxicity, but the mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigates the metabolic changes induced by PFOS exposure during early embryonic development and integrates metabolomic, transcriptomic, and molecular docking analyses to explore underlying mechanisms.
Methods: Mouse embryoid bodies (mEBs) were exposed to PFOS for 2 days, 4 days and 6 days.

Evidence on the association of occupational exposure to benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) with hematologic and hepatic profiles were equivocal, and few studies have investigated overall effect of BTEX mixtures. Herein, significant higher concentrations (p < 0.05) of hippuric acid, 1,2-dihydroxybenzene, mandelic acid, trans, trans-muconic acid and phenylglyoxylic acid were found in petrochemical workers than the controls, in accordance with higher levels of hematologic and hepatic profiles found in petrochemical workers (p < 0.

Human body fluids related pollutants (BFPs) are primary precursors to disinfection by-products (DBPs) in swimming pool water (SPW). This study evaluated the degradation efficiency of ultraviolet/vacuum ultraviolet (UV/VUV) technology for the removal of three typical BFPs: urea, creatinine, and hippuric acid. The results showed that UV/VUV irradiation significantly enhanced the removal of these pollutants compared to UV alone.

Little is known about the exercise-induced adaptations of the metabolome in endurance and strength athletes in comparison with sedentary subjects. In order to analyze exercise-induced effects, quantitative, targeted metabolomics (Biocrates MxP® Quant 500) were performed in plasma samples before and after one bout of endurance or resistance exercise (RE) in 12 strength-trained weightlifters (ST), 10 endurance-trained runners (ET) and 12 sedentary controls (CG) at the end of each of three characteristic training phases. Performance and anthropometric data were significantly different between CG and athletes.

Ionizing radiation exposure from a potential nuclear energy plant leak or detonation of a nuclear weapon can cause massive casualties to both warfighters and civilians. RNA, proteins, and metabolite biomarkers in biological specimens like blood and tissue have shown potential to determine radiation dose levels. However, these biomarkers in blood and urine are short-lived, typically detectable within hours or a few days.
