The testicular toxicity of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a widely used plasticizer, and of its major metabolite, mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP), was assessed after a single dose in rats. Treatment with a single dose of 2.8 g/kg DEHP or 0.8 g/kg MEHP was sufficient to induce testicular atrophy as observed 7 days after dosing. Such a treatment had no effect on plasma FSH levels, and had varying effects on testicular zinc concentrations. After a single dose of 0.8 g/kg MEHP the testicular toxicity was age-dependent, in that only prepubertal rats were susceptible.
邻苯二甲酸二(2-乙基己基)酯(DEHP)是一种广泛使用的增塑剂,对其主要代谢产物邻苯二甲酸单(2-乙基己基)酯(MEHP),在大鼠单次给药后评估了其睾丸毒性。单次给予2.8 g/kg DEHP或0.8 g/kg MEHP足以在给药7天后观察到睾丸萎缩。这种处理对血浆促卵泡激素(FSH)水平没有影响,对睾丸锌浓度有不同影响。单次给予0.8 g/kg MEHP后,睾丸毒性具有年龄依赖性,即只有青春期前大鼠易感。
