Plasticizers

Materials incorporated mechanically in plastics (usually PVC) to increase flexibility, workability or distensibility; due to the non-chemical inclusion, plasticizers leach out from the plastic and are found in body fluids and the general environment.

1.	Peritoneal Fibrosis 01/01/1993 - "In the meantime, we have also had available plasticizer-free bags, which eliminated one of the main risk factors in peritoneal sclerosis. " 01/01/1999 - "To verify whether the favorable effects of GAGs are purely functional or involve a morphological amelioration of the peritoneal membrane structure, a study was carried out in an animal model of plasticizer-induced peritoneal fibrosis. " 01/01/1993 - "The role of plasticizers (PLS) in inducing water flow inhibition and peritoneal sclerosis has been demonstrated in both in vivo and in vitro studies. " 07/01/1993 - "Plasticizers induced mononuclear cells interleukin 1 production: implications with peritoneal sclerosis." 01/01/1993 - "Peritoneal sclerosis: role of plasticizers in stimulating interleukin-1 production."
2.	Weight Gain 01/05/2020 - "Dissolution release profiles showed that TEC is more effective than TA as a plasticizer and pore-former, as linear profiles were apparent at lower concentrations and % weight gain. " 10/01/2016 - "The effect of different formulation variables on drug release: type and concentration of osmogen and plasticizer, size of the delivery orifice, nature of the rate controlling membrane, and membrane weight gain were studied. " 01/01/2007 - "The main effects on drug release after 12 hr decreased in the following order: coating weight gain (-7.81), plasticizer concentration (4.96), postdrying temperature (-2.51), SA concentration (-0.80), inlet temperature (0.51), postdrying time (-0.31), and atomizing pressure (-0.28)." 01/01/2007 - "The response variables were cumulative percent of drug released in 0.5, 1, 4, 8, and 12 hr. Quantitative evaluation of the design revealed that coating weight gain, plasticizer concentration, and post-drying temperature had greater influence on the drug release than the others. " 04/27/2005 - "A three-factor, three-level Box-Behnken design was used for the optimization procedure with coating weight gain (X1), plasticizer concentration (X2) and curing temperature (X3) as the independent variables. "
3.	Cognitive Dysfunction 05/28/2023 - "These results may help to explain the synaptic plasticity, cognitive dysfunction, and neurodegeneration induced by the plasticizer BPA, which could contribute to their prevention." 05/28/2023 - "The widely used plasticizer bisphenol-A (BPA) is well-known for producing neurodegeneration and cognitive disorders, following acute and long-term exposure. " 11/01/2021 - "Bisphenol-A (BPA), a widely used plasticizer, induces cognitive dysfunctions following single and repeated exposure. "
4.	Hemorrhage 10/24/2019 - "Coating TPS with PE-MAH and PLA improved the tensile properties, water resistance and conquered plasticizer bleeding problems in TPS." 10/24/2019 - "Plasticizer bleeding was found in uncoated TPS after storage, but not in the coated TPS. "
5.	Fatigue 10/31/2022 - "The results indicated that both plasticizers were highly effective in restoring the stiffness and elasticity properties as well as fatigue resistance of the aged asphalt. "
