New Insights into Decabromodiphenyl Ether-Induced Splenic Injury in Chickens: Involvement of ROS-Mediated Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Pathway Triggering Autophagy and Apoptosis

Abstract excerpt

Decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209) is a widely used brominated flame retardant that can easily detach from materials and enter into feed and foodstuffs, posing a serious risk to human and animal health and food safety of animal origin. However, the immunotoxic effects of BDE-209 on the avian spleen and the exact mechanism of the toxicity remain unknown. Therefore, we established an experimental model of...
