Enormous strides have recently been made in our understanding of the biology and
pathobiology of mitochondria. Many diseases have been identified as caused by …

In recent years, human and wildlife monitoring studies have identified perfluoroalkyl acids
(PFAA) worldwide. This has led to efforts to better understand the hazards that may be …

Perfluoroalkyl acids such as perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid
(PFOA) have applications in numerous industrial and consumer products. Although the …

Persistent presence of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in the environment is due to their
extensive use in industrial and consumer products, and their slow decay. Biochemical tests …

ABSTRACT PFOA is a peroxisome proliferator (PPAR agonist) and exerts morphological
and biochemical effects characteristic of PPAR agonists. These effects include increased β …

The postnatal effects of in utero exposure to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS, C8F17SO3−)
were evaluated in the rat and mouse. Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were given 1, 2, 3, 5 …

This study was conducted to determine the earliest measurable response of primates to low-
level perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) exposure and to provide information to reduce …

Various formulations of fire-extinguishing materials, including aqueous film-forming foams
(AFFFs), were used as part of fire-training exercises conducted at Wurtsmith Air Force Base …

The maternal and developmental toxicities of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS,
C8F17SO3−) were evaluated in the rat and mouse. PFOS is an environmentally persistent …

Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are fluorinated at all of the valence electrons of the
carbon atoms in organic molecules, or at least a portion of the molecule is perfluorinated …
