Maternal high-fat diet during pregnancy with concurrent phthalate exposure leads to abnormal placentation
Abstract Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a synthetic chemical commonly used for its plasticizing capabilities. Because of the extensive production and use of DEHP, humans are exposed to this chemical daily. Diet is a significant exposure pathway and fatty food contain the highest level of phtha...
