Semen quality and the level of reproductive hormones after environmental exposure to pyrethroids.

Reads0

TLDR
Urinary pyrethroids metabolites levels were significantly associated with an increase in the percentage of sperm with abnormal morphology and decrease in sperm concentration, the level of testosterone, and computer-aided semen analysis parameters.
Abstract
Objectives:The aim of this study was to determine whether the environmental exposure to pyrethroids affects semen quality and the level of reproductive hormones in men.Methods:The study population consisted of 334 men who attended the infertility clinic for diagnostic purposes and who had normal sem

Pyrethroids: exposure and health effects--an update

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to provide updated and comprehensive information on human exposure and potential hazards associated with pyrethroids, including concerns about potentially adverse effects on sperm quality and sperm DNA, reproductive hormones, and pregnancy outcomes.

Pyrethroid epidemiology: a quality-based review

TL;DR: Future epidemiological studies should fully characterize an adverse outcome, include exposure validation components, and quantify exposure over time to provide more robust data on potential health outcomes from low dose exposure to pyrethroid insecticides.

Association Between Exposure to Pyrethroid Insecticides and Risk of All-Cause and Cause-Specific Mortality in the General US Adult Population.

TL;DR: Environmental exposure to pyrethroid insecticides was associated with an increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in this nationally representative sample of US adults.

Position paper update: whole bowel irrigation for gastrointestinal decontamination of overdose patients.

TL;DR: WBI can facilitate removal of select toxicants from the gastrointestinal tract in some patients, but there is no convincing evidence from clinical studies that it improves the outcome of poisoned patients.

Endocrine disrupting chemicals: Impacts on human fertility and fecundity during the peri-conception period.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify and review strong peer-reviewed evidence regarding the effects of environmentally-relevant EDC concentrations on adult male and female fertility during the critical periconception period on reproductive hormone concentrations, gamete and embryo characteristics, as well as the time to pregnancy in the general population.

Estrogenic and Antiprogestagenic Activities of Pyrethroid Insecticides

TL;DR: Four frequently encountered pyrethroids, fenvalerate, sumithrin, d-trans allethrin, and permethrin, were tested for estrogen and progesterone agonist/antagonist activities using the Ishikawa Var-I human endometrial cancer cell line and the T47D human breast cancer cell lines.

Environmental pyrethroid and organophosphorus insecticide exposures and sperm concentration.

TL;DR: Results showed high prevalence of exposure to OP and PYR pesticides and preliminary analyses provided some suggestion that the higher exposure group had lower sperm concentration, while the potential of OP/PYR mixtures to have enhanced human toxicity needs more research attention.
