Prenatal exposure to low doses of benzophenone-3 elicits disruption of cortical vasculature in fetuses through perturbations in Wnt/β-catenin signaling correlating with depression-like behavior in offspring mice.

Benzophenone-3 (BP-3), commonly used in personal care products, is routinely detected in environmental and human matrices. Evidence delineates a correlation between gestational BP-3 exposure and emotional and social disorders in children and adolescents. However, sensitive target cells and the mode of action underlying the early responses to environmentally relevant level of BP-3 exposure remain unclear.

Background: Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have been linked to adverse health outcomes and prenatal exposure is known to impact infant and child development. However, few studies have assessed early developmental consequences of prenatal exposure to two common phenolic compounds, benzophenone-3 (BP-3) and triclosan (TCS).

Objective: We evaluated the relationship of prenatal exposure to BP-3 and TCS with infant cognition at 7.

Female offspring of mice perinatally exposed to benzophenone-3 showed early subfertility linked to a poor oocyte stockpile.

Previously, we found that the ultraviolet filter benzophenone-3 (BP3) causes fetal growth restriction in mice when is applied when implantation occurs (first week of gestation). However, whether BP3 can affect gestation and fertility after implantation period is unknown. We aimed to study the effects on reproductive physiology of the offspring caused by perinatal exposure to BP3.

Single and combined exposures to bisphenol A and benzophenone-3 during early mouse pregnancy have differential effects on fetal and placental development.

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) possess the capability to interfere with the endocrine system by binding to hormone receptors, for example on immune cells. Specific effects have already been described for individual substances, but the impact of exposure to chemical mixtures during pregnancy on maternal immune regulation, placentation and fetal development is not known. In this study, we aimed to investigate the combined effects of two widespread EDCs, bisphenol A (BPA) and benzophenone-3 (BP-3), at allowed concentrations on crucial pregnancy processes such as implantation, placentation, uterine immune cell populations and fetal growth.

Branching morphogenesis of the mouse mammary gland after exposure to benzophenone-3.

Electronic address:

Pubertal mammary branching morphogenesis is a hormone-regulated process susceptible to exposure to chemicals with endocrine disruptive capacity, such as the UV-filter benzophenone-3 (BP3). Our aim was to assess whether intrauterine or in vitro exposure to BP3 modified the branching morphogenesis of the female mouse mammary gland. For this, pregnant mice were dermally exposed to BP3 (0.
