We examined whether urinary concentrations of phthalate and phthalate replacement metabolites were associated with lipid biomarker levels among pregnant women. This cross-sectional study included 175 women who enrolled in the Environment and Reproductive Health (EARTH) Study (2005-2017). We used linear regression models to assess the relationship between urinary phthalates and lipid biomarkers [triglycerides, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL), non-HDL, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol] levels while adjusting for confounders. Pregnant women in the highest quartile of urinary mono(2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl) phthalate (MECPP) had, overall, 14% [31 (95% CI = 6.56) mg/dL], 21% [33 (95% CI = 9.57) mg/dL] and 25% [30 (95% CI = 8.53) mg/dL] higher serum total, non-HDL and LDL cholesterol, respectively, compared to women in the lowest quartile of MECPP. Similar positive associations were found for urinary concentrations of other metabolites of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, and mono(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate. Pregnant women with urinary mono-n-butyl phthalate (MBP) in the highest quartile had higher triglycerides and non-HDL cholesterol compared to women with MBP in the lowest quartile. Women with detectable concentrations of two phthalate replacement metabolites had lower HDL cholesterol compared to women with non-detectable concentrations. Gestational urinary concentrations of certain phthalate and phthalate replacement metabolites were associated with lipid levels among these women.
我们研究了孕妇尿液中邻苯二甲酸盐及其替代代谢物的浓度与脂质生物标志物水平之间是否存在关联。这项横断面研究纳入了175名参与环境与生殖健康(EARTH)研究(2005 - 2017年)的女性。我们使用线性回归模型来评估尿邻苯二甲酸盐与脂质生物标志物[甘油三酯、总胆固醇、高密度脂蛋白(HDL)、非HDL以及低密度脂蛋白(LDL)胆固醇]水平之间的关系,同时对混杂因素进行了校正。尿单(2 - 乙基 - 5 - 羧基戊基)邻苯二甲酸酯(MECPP)处于最高四分位数的孕妇,其血清总胆固醇、非HDL胆固醇和LDL胆固醇水平总体上分别比MECPP处于最低四分位数的孕妇高14%[31(95%CI = 6.56)mg/dL]、21%[33(95%CI = 9.57)mg/dL]和25%[30(95%CI = 8.53)mg/dL]。对于邻苯二甲酸二(2 - 乙基己基)酯、单(2 - 乙基己基)邻苯二甲酸酯和单(2 - 乙基 - 5 - 氧代己基)邻苯二甲酸酯的其他代谢物的尿液浓度,也发现了类似的正相关关系。尿单正丁基邻苯二甲酸酯(MBP)处于最高四分位数的孕妇,其甘油三酯和非HDL胆固醇水平高于MBP处于最低四分位数的孕妇。与未检测到浓度的女性相比,检测到两种邻苯二甲酸盐替代代谢物浓度的女性HDL胆固醇水平较低。在这些女性中,孕期尿液中某些邻苯二甲酸盐及其替代代谢物的浓度与脂质水平相关。
