Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a persistent and bio-accumulative pollutant ubiquitous in wildlife and humans, which receives many concerns on its fate, transport, distribution, and toxicity. There is a concern about its presence in human blood and internal organs which points toward associations with multiple human health endpoints including fertility. Researches...
This study was designed to evaluate the effects of freezing sperm in pigs and sheep obtained from different commercial farms, which were frozen with cryoprotectants and then were thawed. The parameters of viability, motility and acrosome integrity were evaluated before and after freezing in both species, where the percentages obtained...
El PFOS es un compuesto perfluorado ampliamente utilizado en la industria, la medicina y en productos de consumo. En estudios in vivola presencia del PFOS en concentraciones relevantes en diversos fluidos biológicos se ha relacionado con daños en la funcionalidad y el desarrollo deltracto reproductor,tanto en hembras comoen machos. Sin...
Los compuestos perfluorados (CPFs) son considerados xenobióticos, agentes químicos sintéticos, físicos y biológicos no producidos de manera natural en los organismos y que al ser ampliamente utilizados en la industria, tienen una gran persistencia en el ambiente y un elevado tiempo de retención en tejidos biológicos. Diversos estudios toxicológicos se...
