Synergistic effect of synthetic phenolic antioxidant exposure and overweight/obesity on altered sex hormone levels: Normoglycemic rural Chinese population
The widespread use of synthetic phenolic antioxidants (SPAs) has led to their ubiquity and may contribute to multiple adverse health outcomes by affecting hormone level disruption. This study aimed to assess the exposure levels of SPAs in the plasma of the normoglycemic rural Chinese population, investigate the association of single and mixed pollutant exposures with sex hormones, and analyze the moderating role of body mass index (BMI) in these relationships. A cross-sectional study including 763 individuals with normal blood glucose from the Henan Rural cohort was conducted. General linear models, restricted cubic spline models, quantile-based g computation (qgcomp), and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) were utilized to evaluate single, nonlinear, and mixed relationships between SPAs exposure and sex hormones. The combined and additive interactions of SPAs and BMI on sex hormones were further examined. SPAs were widely detected in the plasma samples of the normoglycemic rural Chinese population, and SPAs were significantly linked to altered progestogen and androgen levels in single exposure and varied by gender and menopausal status, and some of these associations were non-linear. Being overweight/obesity strengthened the effect of SPAs on androgens and estrogens. Mixture effect analyses suggested a positive joint mixture effect of SPAs with progesterone in men, and a negative joint mixture effect of SPAs with 17-hydroxyprogesterone, testosterone, and androstenedione in both men and postmenopausal women. The relative contribution of AO44B25, AO425, BHA, BHT-OH, and AO2246 to the overall mixing effect was higher in both mixture analyses. This study is the first to profile SPAs in plasma samples from the Chinese rural population and to identify significant associations between SPAs exposure and altered progestogen and androgen levels in men and postmenopausal women, providing epidemiological evidence for the endocrine-disrupting effects of SPAs and research basis for exploring the etiology of multiple diseases caused by environmental pollution.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Pollution is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality research papers and review articles covering all aspects of environmental pollution and its impacts on ecosystems and human health.
Subject areas include, but are not limited to:
• Sources and occurrences of pollutants that are clearly defined and measured in environmental compartments, food and food-related items, and human bodies;
• Interlinks between contaminant exposure and biological, ecological, and human health effects, including those of climate change;
• Contaminants of emerging concerns (including but not limited to antibiotic resistant microorganisms or genes, microplastics/nanoplastics, electronic wastes, light, and noise) and/or their biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Laboratory and field studies on the remediation/mitigation of environmental pollution via new techniques and with clear links to biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Modeling of pollution processes, patterns, or trends that is of clear environmental and/or human health interest;
• New techniques that measure and examine environmental occurrences, transport, behavior, and effects of pollutants within the environment or the laboratory, provided that they can be clearly used to address problems within regional or global environmental compartments.
