However, the cellular pathways through which these chemicals lead to adverse outcomes in humans are still unclear, suggesting some evidence that inflammation might play a key role. Thus, the aim of this study was to summarize the current evidence on the relationship between human exposure to these chemicals and levels of inflammatory biomarkers. A systematic review of peer- reviewed original research studies published up to February 2023 was conducted using the MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. A total of 20 articles met the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Most of the reviewed studies reported significant associations between any of the selected chemicals (mainly bisphenol A) and some pro-inflammatory biomarkers (including C-reactive protein and interleukin 6, among others). Taken together, this systematic review has identified consistent positive associations between human exposure to some chemicals and levels of pro-inflammatory biomarkers, with very few studies exploring the associations between PBs and/or BPs and inflammation. Therefore, a larger number of studies are required to get a better understanding on the mechanisms of action underlying bisphenols, PBs, and BPs and the critical role that inflammation could play.}, organization = {European Commission (EU's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme) 101057014}, organization = {Instituto de Salud Carlos III Spanish Government FIS PI17/01743}, organization = {Antonio Chamorro/Alejandro Otero' Research Chair}, organization = {Spanish Consortium for Research on Epidemiology and Public Health (CIBERESP)}, organization = {Instituto de Salud Carlos III IFI18/00052, FI17/00316}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Bisphenol}, keywords = {Paraben}, keywords = {Benzophenone}, keywords = {Human}, keywords = {Exposure}, keywords = {Inflammation}, title = {Human Exposure to Bisphenols, Parabens, and Benzophenones, and Its Relationship with the Inflammatory Response: A Systematic Review}, doi = {10.3390/ijms24087325}, author = {Peinado Rodríguez, Francisco Manuel and Iribarne Durán, Luz María and Artacho Cordón, Francisco}, }
