Acute exposure studies have reported that chemical speciation significantly affects the developmental toxicity of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs). However, mechanisms underlying chronic PFAAs as a function remain unknown. With an aim to gain more insights into PFAA structure-toxicity relationship, this study exposed adult zebrafish and salts perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), perfluorobutanoate (PFBA), perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS) at environmentally realistic concentrations for 5 months. In F0 generation, induced hypothyroidism symptoms potently than their salt counterparts. After parental exposure, speciation-dependent transfer behavior was noted, with greater burden in offspring. Similarly, were associated higher risks transgenerational defects thyroid dysfunction during offspring embryogenesis. bound receptor beta (TRβ) strongly salts. An antagonistic interaction PFOA PFBS TR activity observed vitro via reduction TRβ accessibility target genes. CUT&Tag sequencing revealed disturbances due on genomic profile TRβ, indicating interfere multiple thyroidal nervous processes. conclusion, current findings provided evidence regarding critical effects toxicity, highlighting need perform discriminative risk assessment management.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of widely used anthropogenic chemicals. Concerns regarding their persistence potential adverse effects have led to multiple secondary research publications. Here, we aim assess the resulting evidence base in systematic literature by examining gaps, evaluating quality reviews, exploring interdisciplinary connections.
