Fig. 2From: Urinary metabolite of pesticide, 3,5,6-trichloropyridinol, is associated with all-cause but not with cancer mortalityAn illustration graph explaining the physiopathological mechanism between TCPY and mortality. TCPY decreased the levels of testosterone and estradiol, causing endocrine dysfunction. TCPY promoted the expression of IL-1α and Bax /Bcl-2, and caspase 9/3, which upregulated inflammatory responses and cell apoptosis. These results contributed to mortality collectively.
