Urinary phthalate exposure and reproductive outcomes in U.S. women: evidence of dose-response associations in NHANES 2003-2014
Phthalates are a group of endocrine-disrupting chemicals widely used in consumer products and consistently detected in human populations. Although experimental studies suggest that phthalate exposure may affect reproductive function, evidence in women at the population level remains limited and not …

Changes in Hippocampal Plasticity and HPA Axis Function Following Postnatal Exposure to Di(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate in Rats
Phthalates are known to affect the development of regions within the hippocampus, however the mechanisms of these toxic effects are not well known. Stress is also known to have detrimental effects on the hippocampus. This study aimed to determine whether phthalates affect hippocampal development, …
