As currently defined, the exposome represents the lifetime exposure measure of an individual to all potential external genetic influences and their impact on health. Although intentionally added chemicals (e.g., food additives) and food contact materials (e.g., packaging, pesticides) have been assessed for safety to some degree, the full extent to which they can affect health and reproduction has not been reported. The aim of this study was to determine the in vitro and in vivo effects of food additives on the male rat brain and sperm/testes, particularly through oxidative stress. Results from our in vitro study demonstrated that the administration of the common food additive, stevioside, a major component of the common sweetener stevia, as well as the preservatives, diphenyl and orthophenyl phenol (OPP), induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in sperm, and led to sperm dysfunction. These effects were inhibited by the addition of the antioxidant α-tocopherol. Moreover, OPP treatment (1/10,000 of no observed adverse effect) induced ROS production in sperm and lipid peroxidation in the epididymis and hippocampus after two weeks in vivo. Furthermore, 4-hydroxynonenal-positive cells, indicating ROS-generated protein modifications, were detected in spermatocytes in the testes and granular cell layer of the dentate gyrus in the brain. Treatment with α-tocopherol significantly improved oxidative stress. Our study suggests that certain food additives may affect sperm function and induce oxidative stress in the testes and brain, resulting in infertility and short-term memory loss, and some antioxidants may improve these dysfunctions.
