Newswise — The September 2019 issue of Toxicological Sciences features Tox Spotlight articles on chimney sweeps exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, the relationship between endocrine and renal findings in studies of the γ-secretase inhibitor Avagacestat, environmental exposure to phthalates during prostate development in rats, and the disruption of lipid homeostasis due to environmental chemicals in neonatal mouse brains. There also are Open Access articles on the adaptation of systematic review framework for assessing toxicity tests, using physiologically based kinetic modeling-facilitated reverse dosimetry to predict acetylcholinesterase inhibition, and the decontamination of hair following a hazmat incident.
