Multigenerational and Transgenerational Effects of Dioxins As the Cause of Cancer

April 30, 2021 4:41 pm Published by Comments Off on Multigenerational and Transgenerational Effects of Dioxins As the Cause of Cancer

Abstract Dioxins are ubiquitous and persistent environmental contaminants whose background levels are still reason for concern. There is mounting evidence from both epidemiological and experimental studies that paternal exposure to the most potent congener of dioxins, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), can lower the male/female ratio of offspring. Moreover, in laboratory rodents and zebrafish, TCDD exposure of parent [...]
