The effects of di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (dehp) on lesion development in a mouse model of endometriosis
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder affecting 6%–10% of women of reproductive age and 35%–50% of women experiencing chronic pelvic pain and/or infertility. The most widely accepted mechanism of this disease is the entry of endometrial cell aggregates into the peritoneal cavity via the …

Mechanisms by which di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate disrupt ovarian folliculogenesis and steroidogenesis
Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a synthetic plasticizer used in the manufacturing of common polyvinyl chloride consumer, medical, and building products. Humans are exposed to DEHP on a daily basis because of its high production volumes, incorporation into widely used products, and its ability …
