An In Vitro Comparative Study of the Effects of Tetrabromobisphenol A and Tetrabromobisphenol S on Human Erythrocyte Membranes—Changes in ATP Level, Perturbations in Membrane Fluidity, Alterations in Conformational State and Damage to Proteins

An In Vitro Comparative Study of the Effects of Tetrabromobisphenol A and Tetrabromobisphenol S on Human Erythrocyte Membranes—Changes in ATP Level, Perturbations in Membrane Fluidity, Alterations in Conformational State and Damage to Proteins

Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are substances used to reduce the flammability of plastics. Among this group, tetrabormobisphenol A (TBBPA) is currently produced and used on the greatest scale, but due to the emerging reports on its potential toxicity, tetrabromobisphenol S (TBBPS)—a compound wit...
