Abstract
Despite prevailing evidence that endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may exert effects across multiple pregnancies, most studies focus on the first pregnancy Using a multiparity murine model, we evaluated the effects of benzophenone-3 (BP3), bisphenol-A (BPA) or the combination (BP3 +BPA) exposure over two gestational periods (P1 and P2) on pregnancy outcomes and the gonadal function in female offspring from each pregnancy. While maternal weight, litter size, and sex ratio were unaffected, gestation length was altered in BPA and BP3 +BPA groups both in P1 and P2. Ovulation was affected in P2 offspring in all EDC exposed groups. Notably, antral follicle numbers were reduced in all exposed groups, while BPA and BP3 +BPA exposure diminished the primordial follicle reserve in P2 offspring. Estradiol levels were elevated in P2 offspring in the BP3 +BPA group with hCG stimulation. These findings highlight the importance of considering cumulative exposure and exposure to combinations of BP3 and BPA when assessing the long-term reproductive effects of EDCs.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology publishes the results of studies concerning toxic and pharmacological effects of (human and veterinary) drugs and of environmental contaminants in animals and man.
Areas of special interest are: molecular mechanisms of toxicity, biotransformation and toxicokinetics (including toxicokinetic modelling), molecular, biochemical and physiological mechanisms explaining differences in sensitivity between species and individuals, the characterisation of pathophysiological models and mechanisms involved in the development of effects and the identification of biological markers that can be used to study exposure and effects in man and animals.
In addition to full length papers, short communications, full-length reviews and mini-reviews, Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology will publish in depth assessments of special problem areas. The latter publications may exceed the length of a full length paper three to fourfold. A basic requirement is that the assessments are made under the auspices of international groups of leading experts in the fields concerned. The information examined may either consist of data that were already published, or of new data that were obtained within the framework of collaborative research programmes. Provision is also made for the acceptance of minireviews on (classes of) compounds, toxicities or mechanisms, debating recent advances in rapidly developing fields that fall within the scope of the journal.
