The Effects of Dechlorane Plus on Toxicity

Abstract:

Dechlorane plus (DP) is a world-widely used flame retardant detected in the environment, biota and humans. The potential toxicity effect of DP is not well studied. In this research, mice were fed with DP-containing food. After two weeks, histopathological observation and oxidative stress was investigated in mouse liver. Our results demonstrated that over-dose DP induced inflammatory infiltration, hepatocellular swelling and oxidative stress in the mouse liver.
