3.1 Xenobiotics affecting the reproductive system
Impotence, impotence or hormonal disturbances are linked to the penetration of xenobiotics into the central nervous system, the blood or reproductive cells.
Xenobiotics enter the bloodstream via all routes of exposure. The encephalic and placental barriers provide limited protection, depending on the physico-chemical properties of the xenobiotics.
The physico-chemical properties of xenobiotics facilitate their penetration through encephalic or cellular barriers.
Ultrafine particles and nanomaterials smaller than 50 nanometers reach the brain, particularly the olfactory bulb, by migrating...
