چکیده

Bisphenol A (BPA), a xenoestrogen, has been reported to mimic the actions of estrogen or to affect the endocrine glands in vivo and in vitro. In this study, we examined whether in utero and lactational exposure to BPA alters thyroid status in rat F1 offspring. Dams were orally administered various doses of BPA (0, 4 or 40 mg/kg body weight per day) from gestation day (GD) 6 through postnatal day (PND) 20. The BPA and control groups did not differ significantly with respect to plasma thyroxine (T4) concentration. The thyroid glands from the BPA groups had normal T4 responses to exogenous thyroid-stimulating hormone in vivo. These results suggest that in utero and lactational exposure (indirect exposure) to BPA (4-40 mg/kg/day, GD 6 - PND 20) does not affect thyroid functions in the F1 generation of male and female rats.

Effects of in utero and lactational exposure to bisphenol A on somatic growth and anogenital distance in F1 rat offspring.

Bisphenol A (BPA), a xenoestrogen, has been reported to mimic the actions of estrogen or to affect the endocrine glands in vivo and in vitro. In this study, we examined whether in utero and lactational exposure to BPA altered the somatic growth and anogenital distance (AGD) of F1 offspring (1, 3, and 9 weeks of age) in vivo in rats. Dams were orally administered with various doses of BPA (0, 4,...

Effects of in utero and lactational exposure to di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate on somatic and physical development in rat offspring.

Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) has been reported to act as an antiandrogen and to affect the reproductive organs and accessory genital glands. Thus, to assess the reproductive toxicity of DEHP it is important to examine both its adverse effects on the development of offspring following maternal exposure and its effects on sexual function and fertility. In the present study, we examined whethe...
