Acetaminophen Use in Pregnancy: A Comparison of Self-Reported Intake with Maternal and Newborn Biomarker Measures

Introduction Acetaminophen (N-acetyl-p-aminophenol (APAP)), also known as paracetamol, is the most common over-the-counter medication taken during pregnancy to relieve fever, pain, or discomfort.1 In the USA and Europe, it was estimated that 50–65% of women reported using APAP at least once during pregnancy, with about 20% taking APAP in all three trimesters.

Fluorinated liquid crystal monomer (FLCM) induces kidney dysfunction by disrupting PPARα-mediated fatty acid oxidation: In vivo, in vitro, and in silico assays

Abstract Fluorinated liquid crystal monomers (FLCMs) are ubiquitous in our daily life as being the units of liquid crystal displays, yet their toxicological impacts remain largely unexplored. Herein, this study presents a comprehensive investigation into the hazardous effects of 3,4-difluoro-4′-(trans-4-ethylcyclohexyl)-biphenyl (DFECB), a representative biphenyl FLCM, using in.
