Abstract
Neonicotinoids are some of the most widely used insecticides in the world because they broadly target chewing and sucking insects. Neonicotinoids are used in commercial agricultural systems, sold for use in home gardens, and found in veterinary pharmaceuticals in the form of flea and tick preventatives for companion animals. They are also used as crop seed treatments and spread throughout crops as they mature. As a result, humans, wildlife, livestock, and pets are routinely exposed to neonicotinoids through consumption of contaminated food and water as well as through use of some veterinary pharmaceuticals. Although several studies indicate that neonicotinoid exposure causes genotoxicity, neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, and immunotoxicity in some non-target species, the impact of neonicotinoid pesticides on the male and female reproductive systems in mammals is largely understudied. This review summarizes current insights on the impact of common neonicotinoid pesticides such as acetamiprid, clothianidin, imidacloprid, and thiacloprid on male and female reproductive health in mammals. The review also summarizes the impacts of exposure to mixtures of neonicotinoids on reproductive endpoints. In addition, this review highlights where gaps in research on neonicotinoid pesticides and reproductive health exist so that future studies can be designed to fill current gaps in knowledge.
期刊介绍：
The mission of Toxicological Sciences, the official journal of the Society of Toxicology, is to publish a broad spectrum of impactful research in the field of toxicology.
The primary focus of Toxicological Sciences is on original research articles. The journal also provides expert insight via contemporary and systematic reviews, as well as forum articles and editorial content that addresses important topics in the field.
The scope of Toxicological Sciences is focused on a broad spectrum of impactful toxicological research that will advance the multidisciplinary field of toxicology ranging from basic research to model development and application, and decision making. Submissions will include diverse technologies and approaches including, but not limited to: bioinformatics and computational biology, biochemistry, exposure science, histopathology, mass spectrometry, molecular biology, population-based sciences, tissue and cell-based systems, and whole-animal studies. Integrative approaches that combine realistic exposure scenarios with impactful analyses that move the field forward are encouraged.
