P44: The Antioxidant Effect of Nanomicelle Curcumin in Bisphenol A-Induced Brain Toxicity Following Subacute Exposure in Rats
Bisphenol A (BPA) is used in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins; therefore, exposure to BPA is increasing every day. BPA has toxic effects on various human tissues. Curcumin, a yellow polyphenol, is the active turmeric ingredient. It is an efficacious and safe compound with multiple pharmacological activities including antioxidant, ant carcinogenic, ant proliferative, an...
متن کاملLarge effects from small exposures. III. Endocrine mechanisms mediating effects of bisphenol A at levels of human exposure.
Over 6 billion pounds per year of the estrogenic monomer bisphenol A (BPA) are used to manufacture polycarbonate plastic products, in resins lining metal cans, in dental sealants, and in blends with other types of plastic products. The ester bond linking BPA molecules in polycarbonate and resins undergoes hydrolysis, resulting in the release of free BPA into food, beverages, and the environment...
متن کاملDetermination of bisphenol A concentrations in human biological fluids reveals significant early prenatal exposure.
BACKGROUND There is broad human exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), an estrogenic endocrine-disrupting chemical widely used for the production of plastic products. BPA is reported to affect preimplantation embryos or fetuses and alter their postnatal development at doses typically found in the environment. We measured contamination of BPA in various kinds of human biological fluids by a novel enzyme...
متن کاملBisphenol a and its chlorinated derivatives in human colostrum.
The health effects related to bisphenol A (BPA) and its exposure sources have undergone extensive investigation, but no consensus has been reached. Hitherto, the major source of human BPA exposure considered in the literature remains food-contact material. However, the chlorine present in drinking water may react with BPA to form chlorinated derivatives (ClxBPA), which have indeed been shown to...

The widespread human exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine disruptor targeting developmental processes, underlines the need to better understand the mechanisms of fetal exposure. Animal studies have shown that at a late stage of pregnancy BPA is efficiently conjugated by the fetoplacental unit, mainly into BPAglucuronide (BPA-G), which remains trapped within the fetoplacental unit. Fetal ...
متن کاملRisk Evaluation of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals
We review here our studies on early exposure to low doses of the estrogenic endocrine-disrupting chemical bisphenol A (BPA) on behavior and metabolism in CD-1 mice. Mice were exposed in utero from gestation day (GD) 11 to delivery (prenatal exposure) or via maternal milk from birth to postnatal day 7 (postnatal exposure) to 10 mg/kg body weight/d of BPA or no BPA (controls). Bisphenol A exposur...
