This exploratory narrative review paper delves into the intricate interplay between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure, sociodemographic factors, influence of stressors in context endometrial cancer. PFAS, ubiquitous environmental contaminants notorious for their persistence ecosystem, have garnered attention potential to disrupt endocrine systems provoke immune responses. We comprehensively examine various sources PFAS encompassing household items, water, air, soil, thus shedding light on multifaceted routes through which individuals encounter these compounds. Furthermore, we explore such as income, education, occupation, ethnicity/race, geographical location relationship cancer risk. also investigated role stress exposure The results revealed a significant impact factors both levels Stress emerged notable contributing factor influencing development cancer, further emphasizing importance management practices overall well-being.

Background Toxoplasma gondii ( T . ) is a worldwide distributed protozoan parasite which has infected wide range of warm-blooded animals and humans. The most common form infection asymptomatic (latent); nevertheless, latent toxoplasmosis can induce various alterations sex hormones, especially testosterone, in humans animals. On the other hand, testosterone involved behavioral traits reproductive functions both sexes. Hence, purpose this systematic review to summarize available evidence regarding association between alteration. Methods In setting review, an electronic search (any date 10 January 2023) without language restrictions was performed using Science Direct, Web Science, PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar. PRISMA guidelines were followed. Following initial search, total 12,306 titles abstracts screened initially; 12,281 excluded due lack eligibility criteria or duplication. Finally, 24 articles met included criteria. A mean±standard deviation (SD) calculated assess difference positive negative possibility publication bias assessed Egger’s regression. P -value < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results This identified (18 studies six animals).

Reproductive disorders are considered a global health problem influenced by physiological, genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. The increased exposure to bisphenols, chemical used in large quantities for the production of polycarbonate plastics, has raised concerns regarding risks humans, particularly their endocrine-disrupting effects on female reproductive health. To provide basis future research environmental interference health, we reviewed relevant studies patterns levels bisphenols matrices humans (including susceptible populations such as pregnant women children). In addition, focused

An increasing number of studies have investigated the effects Cd on human health. Cd-induced dermatotoxicity is an important field research, but numerous focused skin. Moreover, most been performed using HaCaT cells not primary keratinocytes. In this study, we provide results describing cytotoxic exposure epidermal keratinocytes obtained from different donors. The subtoxic concentration cadmium chloride was determined via MTT assay, and transcriptomic analysis exposed to (25 µM) performed. As in cells, resulted increased ROS levels, cell cycle arrest, induction apoptosis. addition, report that affects zinc copper homeostasis, induces metallothionein expression, activates various signaling pathways, including Nrf2, NF-kB, TRAIL, PI3K. secretion cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, PGE2) upregulates expression several cytokeratins, such as KRT6B, KRT6C, KRT16, KRT17. a better understanding mechanisms cadmium-induced cytotoxicity its effect skin cells.

Metal pollution can cause a decline in female fertility, however, previous studies have focused more on the effect of single metal fertility. In this study, we evaluated mixtures fertility based nested case-control samples. The plasma levels 22 elements from 180 women were determined by an inductively coupled mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). Minimum absolute contraction and selection operator (LASSO) penalty regression selected metals with greatest influence clinical outcome. Logistic was used to analyze correlation between while Bayesian kernel function (BKMR) model mixed metals. Eight (Calcium (Ca), Chromium (Cr), Cobalt (Co), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Rubidium (Rb), Strontium (Sr) Zirconium (Zr)) LASSO for subsequent analysis. After adjusting covariates, logistic showed that Cu (Odds Ratio(OR):0.33, 95% CI: 0.13 − 0.84) Co (OR:0.38, 0.15 −0.94) caused significant reduction identified protective Zn (OR: 2.96, CI:1.21 −7.50) Trend tests increased Cr, Cu, Rb associated reduced BKMR Co, had nonlinear relationship when controlling concentrations other suggested Cr might exert Analysis negative Rb, positive Furthermore, found evidence interaction Cr. Our findings require further validation may identify new mechanisms future.
