Application

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate also known as dioctyl adipate (DOA) can be used as a plasticizer for improving the impact properties of polymers. DOA is also used to produce clear films for food packaging applications and in synthetic rubber industries due to its compatibility with nitrocellulose and ethylcellulose.

Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a well-known testicular toxicant inducing adverse effects in androgen responsive tissues. Therefore, di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA) is currently being evaluated as a potential substitute for DEHP. Similarities in structure and metabolism of DEHP and DEHA have led

This study aimed to characterize the effects of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) on the fetal rat testes and relate them to the effects seen in adults. Histopathological effects in fetal testes were examined with immunohistochemistry for anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase
