Plastic originated bisphenol A: A potential endocrine disruptor for fish reproduction

Cytotoxic Effects of Bisphenol A as an Endocrine Disruptor on Human Lymphocytes

Background: Endocrine compounds, such as Bisphenol A (BPA), stimulate or inhibit the activities of hormones, nuclear receptors in the central nervous system, liver and other organs. They may be disposed of in the environment inadverdently around industrial sites. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of BPA on human lymphocytes in culture at varying concentrations. Method...

Molecularly Imprinted Polymer for the Molecular Recognition of Endocrine Disruptor Bisphenol-a

Bisphenol-A (BPA) is a component of a coating material in can packaging and is known to leach out to the canned food. It is a known endocrine disruptor, carcinogen and mutagen hence detection and control of BPA should be a concern to protect the consumers. This study aims to develop a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for the molecular recognition of BPA. This paper presents the synthesis and...

Occurrence and Profiles of the Artificial Endocrine Disruptor Bisphenol A and Natural Endocrine Disruptor Phytoestrogens in Urine from Children in China

BACKGROUND Exposure to artificial or natural endocrine disruptors, such as bisphenol A (BPA) and phytoestrogens has been demonstrated to have health effects, especially in children. Biomonitoring of BPA and phytoestrogens in human urine can be used to assess the intake levels of these compounds. METHODS In this study, BPA and phytoestrogens in urine specimens (n = 256) collected from children...

Priorities for endocrine disruptor research.

Xanthogranulomatous inflammation is a distinguished histopathological entity affecting several organs, predominantly the kidney and gallbladder. So far, only a small number of cases of xanthogranulomatous inflammation occurring in female genital tract have been described, most frequently affecting the endometrium and histologically characterized by replacement of endometrium by xanthogranulomat...
