Abstract
Nonylphenol (NP), a widely recognized endocrine disruptor, exhibits lipophobic properties that drive its accumulation in adipose tissue, leading to various physiological disruptions. Using Caenorhabditis elegans, this study investigated the effects of NP exposure on lipid homeostasis and physiological indicators. NP exposure increased lipid storage, hindered reproduction and growth, and altered phospholipid composition. Transcriptional analysis revealed NP's promotion of lipogenesis and inhibition of lipolysis. Metabolites related to lipid metabolism like citrate, amino acids, and neurotransmitters, along with lipids, collectively influenced physiological processes. This work elucidates the complex link between lipid metabolism disturbances and NP-induced physiological disruptions, enhancing our understanding of NP's multifaceted toxicity.
