Abstract
Purpose of review: To present recent evidence that strengthens the concept that exogenous pollutants contribute to adipose dysfunction and increased rates of disease and to highlight the ineffective regulation of this risk as industry switches to related but similarly toxic variants.
Recent findings: Substitutes for common phthalates and the highly regulated bisphenol A (BPA) show similar deleterious effects on adipocytes. The well tolerated limit for BPA exposure has been reduced in Europe to below the level detected in recent population studies. Additionally, the role for BPA-induced inflammation mediated by interleukin 17a has been described in animal and human studies.
Summary: Despite experimental and associative evidence that supports plastics and plastic associated chemicals deleteriously influencing adipose homeostatasis and contributing to metabolic diseases, structurally related alternate chemicals are being substituted by manufacturers to circumvent trailing regulatory actions.
综述的目的:提出最新证据,加强外源污染物导致脂肪功能障碍和患病率增加的概念,并强调由于工业界转而使用相关但毒性相似的变体,对这一风险的监管并不有效:常见邻苯二甲酸盐的替代品和受到严格管制的双酚 A (BPA) 对脂肪细胞产生了类似的有害影响。在欧洲,双酚 A 暴露的良好耐受限度已降低到低于近期人群研究中检测到的水平。小结:尽管实验和相关证据表明塑料和塑料相关化学品会对脂肪平衡产生有害影响并导致代谢性疾病,但制造商仍在使用结构相关的替代化学品来规避后续监管行动。
