Interpreting Bisphenol A Absorption in the Canine Oral Cavity: Gayrard et al. Respond

Gayrard et al. (2013) reported significant (~ 80%) absorption of bisphenol A (BPA) from solutions applied to the oral cavity of dogs, leading to higher serum BPA (aglycone) concentrations than occurred when BPA was absorbed through the gastro intestinal tract. This finding is consistent with first prin­ ciples and experience with orally absorbed drugs. The implications for human exposure and he...

We investigated the association between exposures to bisphenol A (BPA), its chlorinated derivatives (ClxBPA), and bispheno...
