Deoxynivalenol: mechanisms of action, human exposure, and toxicological relevance.

TL;DR: A fusion of basic and translational research is needed to validate or refine existing risk assessments and regulatory standards for this common mycotoxin.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of Nrf2 and MAPK pathways in PFOS-induced oxidative stress in zebrafish embryos

TL;DR: It is found that coexposure with sulforaphane, an Nrf2 activator, could significantly protect against PFOS-induced ROS generation, whereas inhibition of MAPKs did not exhibit significant effects on PFos-induced HO-1 gene expression and ROS production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioaccumulation of Perfluorinated Alkyl Acids: Observations and Models

TL;DR: It is concluded that the two prevailing hypotheses for the mechanisms that control the bioaccumulation of perfluorinated alkyl acids need not be mutually exclusive, but that protein interactions are needed to explain some important features of PFAA bio Accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physicochemical Properties and Aquatic Toxicity of Poly- and Perfluorinated Compounds

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the data available for the physicochemical properties and aquatic toxicity of poly-and perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in order to have a clear overview of the available data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic zebrafish PFOS exposure alters sex ratio and maternal related effects in F1 offspring

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that chronic exposure to PFOS adversely impacts embryonic growth, reproduction, and subsequent offspring development.

Global distribution of perfluorooctane sulfonate in wildlife.

TL;DR: Fish-eating, predatory animals such as mink and bald eagles contained concentrations of PFOS that were greater than the concentrations in their diets, suggesting that PFOS can bioaccumulate to higher trophic levels of the food chain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Annexins: from structure to function.

TL;DR: Although annexins lack signal sequences for secretion, some members of the family have also been identified extracellularly where they can act as receptors for serum proteases on the endothelium as well as inhibitors of neutrophil migration and blood coagulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Biology of Steroid Hormone Synthesis

TL;DR: Five groups of steroid hormones are generally recognized according to their physiological behavior: mineralocorticoids, which instruct the renal tubules to retain sodium; glucocortics, which are named for their carbohydratemobilizing properties but have many other effects as well; estrogens, which induce female secondary sexual characteristics; progestins, which is essential for reproduction; and androgens, who induce male secondarySexual characteristics.

REVIEW Human Sulfotransferases and Their Role in Chemical Metabolism

TL;DR: SULTs have a wide tissue distribution and act as a major detoxification enzyme system in adult and the developing human fetus as mentioned in this paper, and they are also capable of bioactivating procarcinogens to reactive electrophiles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exposure to perfluorooctane sulfonate during pregnancy in rat and mouse. II: postnatal evaluation.

TL;DR: It is indicated that in utero exposure to PFOS severely compromised postnatal survival of neonatal rats and mice, and caused delays in growth and development that were accompanied by hypothyroxinemia in the surviving rat pups.
