“…No relations were observed with other semen parameters. Chao et al (2010) studied whether high human milk PBDE levels in 46 reproductive-age females lead to interference with menstruation characteristics. The sum of PBDEs and certain individual PBDEs appear to have potential to prolong the length of average menstrual cycle and delay the age when menstruation periods begin coming regularly.…”

“…Several epidemiological studies in the general population have strengthened the notion that PBDE exposure can induce adverse health effects (Mazdai et al, 2003;Chao et al, 2007;Main et al, 2007;Herbstman et al, 2008;Lim et al, 2008;Turyk et al, 2008;Turyk et al, 2009;Chao et al, 2010bChao et al, , 2011Gascon et al, 2012;Shy et al, 2012). There was a non-significant association of ΣPBDEs with diabetes in three studies (Lim et al, 2008;Turyk et al, 2009;Lee et al, 2011), while Lim et al (2008) found that BDE-153 shows an inverted U-shaped association with metabolic syndrome.…”

“…For female reproductive toxicity, increased levels of BDE-47, 99,100, 153, and Σ 4 PBDEs in women's serum are related to women spending more time to conceive, but is not associated with changes in the menstrual cycle . In our previous study, age-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) of 183,207,208, and ΣPBDEs were significantly higher in women with menstrual cycles of average length (i.e., >32 days) compared to the control; while women whose menstruation periods still came irregularly when they were 18 years old had higher ageadjusted ORs of 208,209, and ΣPBDEs than those whose periods came regularly at the same age (Chao et al, 2010b). Prof. Chen and his team members analyzed the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey's (NHANES) 2003-2004 data to explore associations between female adolescents' exposure to PBDEs and age at menarche to determine if their current serum PBDE levels are linked to menarche occurring at an earlier age in American female adolescents .…”

“…PBDEs with high lipophilicity are easily bioaccumulated in the biota, including terrestrial and aquatic living organisms . To raise both official and public concern, the toxicological endpoints of human exposure to PBDEs in current scientific reports, particularly for young children include disruption of thyroid hormone secretion (Lin et al, 2011;Shy et al, 2012), neurodevelopment or neurobehavioral development Shy et al, 2011), and male or female reproductive functions (Chao et al, 2007;Wang et al, 2008;Chao et al, 2010;Abdelouahab et al, 2011).…”
