    Abstract Background: A limited number of human and animal studies suggest that a relationship exists between phthalates and obesity, although this is not supported by all research. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and the levels of phthalates in human blood and urine samples.
    Methods: Sixty-four overweight or 132 obese individuals (total=196) of different ages (min-max, 17-62; mean ± SD, 42.07±11.3) and genders (F:M 97:99) enrolled in the study. BMI and waist circumference were measured to diagnose obesity. Venous blood samples were taken after overnight fasting. To compare the urine phthalates among participants, single spot urine (at least 10 mL) was collected from the subject after blood samples were taken. Urine and blood phthalate concentrations were measured using gas chromatography.
    Results: Total blood/urinary phthalate levels significantly increased in proportion to the degree of obesity. There was a high correlation between the level of total phthalates in serum and BMI (ρ=0.697, P<0.001), and between total urinary phthalate levels and BMI (ρ=0.707, P<0.001).
    Conclusions: This is the first study to have shown that both blood and urinary phthalates increased in proportion to BMI. The results show a strong association between obesity and phthalates.

    Abstract: In this study, samples of soil and plant (32 species of vegetable and 17 species of fruit) were collected from six different regions of Hatay (Amik Plant, Reyhanlı, Kırıkhan, Samandağ, Dörtyol and İskenderun). The azomethine-H method was used to ... ...

    Abstract In this study, samples of soil and plant (32 species of vegetable and 17 species of fruit) were collected from six different regions of Hatay (Amik Plant, Reyhanlı, Kırıkhan, Samandağ, Dörtyol and İskenderun). The azomethine-H method was used to determine boron content of samples. Furthermore, the correlation among boron content of soil with boron content of plants was investigated. The boron concentrations in the soil samples, were determined between 32.43 (±2.90) and 93.43 (±2.75) ppm. High concentrations of boron were found in thyme (10.44±0.17), mint (6.96±0.15), red cabbage (6.45±0.15), broad-bean (6.28±0.14), quince (5.41±0.11), pomegranate (5.27±0.13) and orange (4.08±0.10). Minimal concentration of boron were found in pumpkin (0.76±0.01), white radish (0.97±0.01), plum (1.16±0.02) and cucumber (1.17±0.01). Most of the foods had boron concentrations in the range of 1.48-3.60ppm.

    Abstract The determination of phthalates in edible oils (virgin olive oil, olive oil, canola oil, hazelnut oil, sunflower oil, corn oil) sold in Turkish markets was carried out using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Mean phthalate concentrations were between 0.102 and 3.863 mg L ⁻¹ in virgin olive oil; 0.172 and 6.486 mg L ⁻¹ in olive oil; 0.501 and 3.651 mg L ⁻¹ in hazelnut oil; 0.457 and 3.415 mg L ⁻¹ in canola oil; 2.227 and 6.673 mg L ⁻¹ in sunflower oil; and 1.585 and 6.248 mg L ⁻¹ in corn oil. Furthermore, the influence of the types of oil and container to the phthalate migration was investigated. The highest phthalate levels were measured in sunflower oil. The lowest phthalate levels were determined in virgin olive oil and hazelnut oil. The highest phthalate levels were determined in oil samples contained in polyethylene terephthalate.

    Abstract Background: Bisphenol A (BPA) has been implicated as an 'endocrine disruptor'. We aimed at exploring the association between serum BPA levels and patient characteristics, particularly the presence of diabetes mellitus, and laboratory parameters in hemodialysis patients.
    Methods: This study included 47 chronic hemodialysis patients. Patient characteristics were recorded. Blood was drawn before and after hemodialysis session. Serum BPA levels were measured by the high-performance-liquid-chromatography and laboratory parameters were measured by using standard methods.
    Results: In hemodialysis patients, postdialysis serum BPA levels were significantly higher than predialysis after a single hemodialysis session (5.57 ± 1.2 vs. 4.06 ± 0.73, p < 0.0001). Predialysis serum BPA levels were significantly higher in patients with diabetes than non-diabetics (4.4 ± 0.6 vs. 3.9 ± 0.7, p = 0.025). No association was found between serum BPA levels and patient characteristics, and particularly laboratory parameters.
    Conclusion: Serum BPA levels were rising significantly after a single dialysis session. Diabetic hemodialysis patients had higher predialysis serum BPA levels.

    Abstract The determination of phthalates in beverages (soda, lemonade, cola, mineral water) sold in Turkish markets was carried out using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The mean phthalate concentrations were determined to be between 0.095 and 0.633 mg/L in soda, 0.018 and 1.219 mg/L in lemonade, 0.019 and 1.123 mg/L in cola, and 0.085 and 0.312 mg/L in mineral water. bis(2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) showed the highest level of migration into beverages. Furthermore, the influence of the type of preservative (sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate + potassium sorbate) and storage time were determined.
