Abstract
Prenatal exposure to di(n-butyl) phthalate (DBP), a chemical that makes plastics flexible, has been associated with a spectrum of male reproductive system disorders in animals,1 and there is evidence it may adversely affect human testicular germ cells.2 A new study in EHP provides new evidence regarding mechanisms of DBP-related effects in germ cells and suggests that a rat model may be suitable for studying effects of DBP on human germ cells.3
