Association between environmental contaminant TBOEP and hepatic metabolism

Long-term exposure to TBOEP may also lead to liver inflammation and fatty degeneration, further affecting liver metabolic function. In addition, TBOEP may also affect liver metabolic pathways by influencing gene expression. For example, TBOEP exposure may activate or inhibit genes related to lipid metabolism, glucose metabolism, and oxidative stress, thereby altering the metabolic state of the liver.

These changes not only affect the function of the liver itself but may also have a chain reaction on the health of other organs and systems through the interaction of the systemic metabolic network. In summary, as an environmental pollutant, the potential impact of TBOEP on liver metabolic function cannot be ignored. Future research needs to further explore the toxicological mechanisms of TBOEP and its long-term effects on human health in order to develop effective prevention and intervention measures to protect public health.
