Abstract
► Phthalate plasticizers are found ubiquitously in the environment and human fluids. ► The effects of DEHP are more severe and long lasting when exposures occur during fetal development. ► Early in life exposure to DEHP affects male and female offspring reproductive function. ► Exposure to DEHP in utero decreases aldosterone levels and blood pressure in the male offspring.
