Bisphenol-A (BPA) is a representative exogenous endocrine disruptor, which is extensively composed in plastic products. Due to the capability of passing through the blood-brain barrier, evidence has linked BPA exposure with multiple neuropsychological dysfunctions, neurobehavioral disorders and ...

DNA damage caused by environmental agents often lead to many chronic diseases, including cancer. The present study aimed to understand the relative toxicity possessed by Bisphenol A (BPA) and Bisphenol S (BPS) on human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B). The cells were exposed to either BPA or...

sTo understand the adverse outcome in response to bisphenol A and its analogs bisphenol F and S (BPA, BPF, and BPS), we examined acute toxicity, life parameter, and defensome in the marine rotifer Brachionus koreanus. Among the bisphenol analogs, BPA showed the highest acute toxicity and then BP...

Bisphenol A (BPA) and its analogs are widely used in the production of various everyday use products, which leads to a common exposure of humans to these substances. The effect of bisphenols on oxidative stress parameters has not been described in detail in non-nucleated cells, therefore, we hav...

Bisphenol S (BPS) and bisphenol F (BPF) have been increasingly used as alternatives to bisphenol A (BPA) owing to health concerns. The present study aims to evaluate the impact of these two BPA analogs on oxidative stress and the immune system during zebrafish embryonic and larval development. E...

This study investigates Bisphenol A (BPA) induced oxidative stress that mediates the genotoxicity in in vivo model Drosophila melanogaster. The calculated LC50 for BPA was 12.35 μg/mL. The strains of D. melanogaster were reared in 0.1, 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0 μg/mL BPA treated food media from the emb...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and trace contaminants often co-occur in natural waters and wastewaters, and they may become the precursors of disinfection byproducts (DBPs). However, the effects of CNTs on the formation of DBPs during chlorination of co-existed organic pollutants are unknown. This stud...

BADGE (bisphenol A diglycidyl ether) is a synthesis product of bisphenol A (BPA), which, like other plasticizers, can cross the human placenta and reach the foetus. However, compared to BPA, there is almost no toxicological information. This work investigates the toxicity, endocrine and lipid di...

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a very versatile industrial chemical. Many reports have associated BPA with several health effects. Some bisphenol alternatives have been introduced to replace BPA in its many applications. However, comprehensive toxicological evaluations for these replacements are still lac...

Contact with thermal printing paper is a relevant source of dermal exposure to unbonded bisphenol A (BPA). In order to limit this exposure route, the European Union has introduced a drastic reduction in the maximum allowed concentration of BPA in thermal paper produced after beginning of year 20...

Alkylaldehyde–bisulfite adducts with octyl, decyl, and dodecyl groups (CnS: n = 8,10,12) were synthesized and the surface-active properties of the water-soluble compounds were compared. Exchange of the counter anions of C10S and C12S from sodium to tetramethylammonium solubilized them in water....

Oxidation of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) is catalyzed by ten-eleven translocation (TET) enzymes to produce 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) and following oxidative products. The oxidized nucleotides were shown to be the intermediates for DNA demethylation, as the nucleotides are removed by base excisio...

Pretreatment is an important upstream process that affects the economics of biofuels production from lignocellulose. This study established a novel pretreatment process for efficient bioconversion of wheat straw using ammonium sulfite as pretreatment option. Effects of temperature, time, ammoniu...

Reaction products of bisulfite and caftaric acid were found in wines containing sulfites as a preservative. Acidic compounds were separated from wine and analyzed by HPLC combined with DAD and QTOF mass spectrometer. HPLC chromatograms of the expected [M−H]− ion and UV absorption revealed the pr...

Polymeric 4-4 diphenyl methane diisocyanate (pMDI) was blocked with an aqueous sodium bisulfite solution to obtain water-dispersible blocked pMDI (B-pMDI) resin with different HSO3/–NCO mole ratios for the modification of urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra o...

The effect of gas–liquid phase compositions on NO and NO2 absorption into ammonium-sulfite and bisulfite solutions is investigated. Preliminary experiment results indicate that the concentrations of (NH4)2SO3 or NH4HSO3 solution and the molar ratio for HSO3− to the total solution concentrations...

Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs), a kind of effective insecticide, have attracted extensive attention of researchers because of the high toxicity and refractory character of their degradation products. Given the ubiquity of manganese dioxide (MnO2) and bisulfite (HSO3−) in environmental media,...

A series of compound oxides of Fe-MnX (Fe-Mn1, Fe-Mn2, Fe-Mn3, Fe-Mn4) were synthesized and tested in the activation of bisulfite for methylene blue (MB) degradation in aqueous solution under dark condition. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and BET surface area were us...

A new colorimetric fluorescent probe 1 contained a C˭C double bond for the detection of bisulfite (HSO3-) via Michael-Addition was developed. Significantly, probe 1 can detect HSO3- with excellent selectivity, high sensitivity, fast response (

Selenium and vitamin E protect the body against oxidative stress. Clinical manifestations of their deficiency in equids include neurologic and muscular symptoms. Despite the importance of donkeys as working and production animals, there is a dearth of scientific data on selenium and vitamin E no...
