Article Synopsis
  • * It involved a case-control design with 2,137 children diagnosed with cryptorchidism and 2,137 matched controls, focusing on exposure levels of PM during the first two months of pregnancy.
  • * The results indicate a positive correlation, suggesting that maternal exposure to PM2.5 in early pregnancy may increase the risk of their child developing cryptorchidism.

The toxic effect of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) on prepubertal testes was examined in this study. We treated 3-week-old male mice with 4.8 mg/kg/day (milligram/kilogram/day) (no observed adverse effect level), 30 mg/kg/day (high exposure dose relative to humans), 100 mg/kg/day (level causing a reproductive system disorder), and 500 mg/kg/day (dose causing a multigenerational reproductive system disorder) of DEHP via gavage.
