## Abstract Pregnant Wistar rats were given butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) at a dose of 2.0% in the diet on days 0β20, days 0β11 or days 11β20 of pregnancy. Food consumption and body weight gain were decreased in pregnant rats given BBP. Preβimplantation loss in the BBPβtreated groups was comparable

The teratogenicity of butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) was studied in Wistar rats. Pregnant rats were given BBP at a dosage of 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0% in the diet from day 0 to day 20 of pregnancy. Daily intakes of BBP were 185 mg kg-' for the 0.25% group, 375 mg kg-' for the 0.5% group, 654 mg kg-' f
## Abstract Phthalate esters are ubiquitous environmental contaminants that in general display lowβtoxicity. Overall, the reproductive effects of these compounds are well characterized in adult's animals, with gonadal injury observed after high dose exposure. However, results of recent transgenerat
Studies of embryo-fetal development in rats were conducted with two 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors. SB-202235 (1,000 mg/kg/day) or SB-210661 (50, 100, or 500 mg/kg/day) was administered orally by gavage to female rats on days 6-17 postcoitus (pc) or days 7-16 pc. SB-202235 (1,000 mg/kg/day) and SB-210661
The extensive database of acute and chronic aquatic toxicity data for 18 phthalate esters was reviewed and summarized for freshwater and saltwater aquatic microorganisms, algae, invertebrates, and fish. Phthalate esters have been tested with six species of microorganisms, including bacteria and prot
