Негативное влияние фталатов на мужскую репродуктивную систему и фертильность
https://doi.org/10.17650/2070-9781-2023-24-2-19-30Аннотация
В обзоре представлены данные литературы о негативном влиянии фталатов на мужскую репродуктивную систему, сперматогенез, параметры эякулята и мужскую фертильность. При анализе научных публикаций найдено небольшое число исследований, посвященных изучению влияния фталатов на репродуктивное здоровье, гаметогенез и его гормональную регуляцию у человека и лабораторных моделей (крысы, мыши). Хотя эпидемиологические исследования о влиянии фталатов на репродуктивную функцию и фертильность мужчин немногочисленны, отдельные токсикологические исследования показывают, что некоторые фталаты являются потенциальными репротоксикантами.

The negative impact of phthalates on male reproductive system and fertility
https://doi.org/10.17650/2070-9781-2023-24-2-19-30Abstract
The paper overviews the negative impact of phthalates on the male reproductive system, spermatogenesis, semen parameters and male fertility. The analysis of the literature revealed few studies devoted to the study of the effect of phthalates on reproductive health, gametogenesis and fertility in humans and laboratory models (rats, mice). Although epidemiological studies on the effect of phthalates on the male reproductive health are not big, some toxicological studies show that some phthalates are potential reprotoxicants.
