Both estradiol and nonylphenol (NP) inhibited hepatic microsomal 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity of β-naphthoflavone-treated rats. Enzyme kinetic analyses (Lineweaver-Burk plots) using different estradiol and NP concentrations with graded increases in the concentrations of the substrate, ethoxyresorufin, showed that the inhibition wa...

Alkylphenol ethoxylates are surfactants that are commonly used in industry and in home care products. They are broken down by anaerobes to yield toxic environmental pollutants such as nonylphenol. In this study, we tested whether nonylphenol ethoxylates and their most common biodegradation product, nonylphenol, were substrates of human P-glycoprote...

This study was intended to provide data on the composition of soft PVC toys, addressing the widest practicable range of chemical additives and including non-phthalate additives. The study also included toys from as many countries as possible, since for many, no data were available. A total of 72 toys were purchased in 17 countries. The majority (64...
The applicability of granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration for the removal of the xeno-estrogenic micropollutant nonylphenol (NP) is evaluated using batch adsorption data. From the obtained adsorption data, it was apparent that with contact times of 4 d and 24 hr and GAC dosages of 1 and 0.1 g L-1 no saturation of the GAC could be obtained wit...
Alkylphenol ethoxylates are widely used non-ionic surfactants. Nonylphenol ethoxylate constitutes 82% of the production of all alkylphenol ethoxylates and the breakdown product of nonylphenol ethoxylate, nonylphenol (NP) has been shown to be estrogenic in both in vitro and in vivo screening assays. To determine the potential reproductive toxicity o...
