Urine di-(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate Metabolites Are Independently Related To Body Fluid Status in Adults: Results From a U.S. Nationally Representative Survey
Abstract:Background
Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) has been utilized in many daily used products for decades. Previous studies have reported DEHP exposure could induce renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system activation and increase epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) activity, which contributes to extracellular fluid (ECF) volume expansion. However, there is also no previous study to evaluate the association between DEHP exposure and body fluid status.
Methods
We selected 1,678 subjects (aged ≧ 18 years) from a Nationa… Show more
