Phthalate use and the concentrations of their metabolites in humans vary by geographic region, race, ethnicity, sex, product use and other factors. Exposure during pregnancy may be associated with detrimental reproductive and developmental outcomes. No s...

Uterine leiomyomas are estrogen-dependent benign tumors with unknown etiologies. Phthalates are endocrine-disrupting chemicals and ubiquitous in the environment; thus, it has been suggested that they play a role in the development of uterine leiomyoma. W...

Vitellogenesis is a pivotal reproductive process of the yolk formation in crustaceans. Vitellogenin (VTG) is the precursor of main yolk proteins and synthesized by endogenous estrogens. The intertidal mud crab (Macrophthalmus japonicus) inhabits sediment...

Humans are inevitably exposed to ubiquitous phthalate esters (PAEs). In utero exposure to di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) induces abnormal development of the testis and reproductive tract in male offspring, which correspond closely with the human condition of...
