Phthalates are widely present in human environment. Widespead exposure to those agents, which are compounds of numerous daily use products, is unavoidable. In the current paper following phthalates benzylbutyl phthalate (BBP), din- butyl phthalate (DBP), di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), di-isononyl phthalate (DINP) are described. Phthalates mainly enter to the composition...
The general exposure to endocrine disruptors, including phthalates, is considered as one of the reason diminished sperm count and deteriorated sperm quality, which may lead to infertility and higher incidence of congenital malformations of the genital tract. This article describes the effects of selected phthalates di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP); butylbenzyl phthalate (BBP),...
Phthalate are found in the environmental samples due to their wide use in the industry as plasticizers. Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) is mainly used in nitrocellulose and polyvinyl acetate products as well as in personal-care products. This study was performed to investigate the influence of exposure to DBP on the quantity and quality (motility, morphology) and DNA damage (induction of micronuclei and...
The frequency of micronuclei induced in mouse meiotic cells after exposure to 1,3-butadiene has been evaluated in early spermatids. Germ cells were isolated from mice exposed to three butadiene concentrations (130, 250 and 500 ppm), at time intervals allowing to evaluate effects induced in late spermatocytes or at the stage of preleptotene/differentiating spermatogonia. The characterization of the...
