Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 6052: Determination of Apoptotic Mechanism of Action of Tetrabromobisphenol A and Tetrabromobisphenol S in Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells: A Comparative Study

Conclusions: It was found that TBBPS, and more strongly TBBPA, triggered apoptosis in human PBMCs. Generally, the mitochondrial pathway was involved in the apoptotic action of tested compounds; nevertheless, TBBPS more strongly than TBBPA caused intrinsic pathway activation.
