To evaluate the efficiency of modified epoxy resins using bisphenol-A, hydantoin & cyanuric acid & to investigate the structural change due to the presence of Nitrogen atoms in polymeric chain for improved insulating properties, weatherability etc. The samples of epoxy resin bisphenol-A, hydantoin and Cyanuric acid based was taken for X-ray diffraction analysis. The diffraction patterns were Fo...

Four anti-bisphenol A monoclonal antibodies (mabs) were obtained and each characterized by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Among these mabs, BBA-2187 was the most reactive towards bisphenol A. The quantitation limit of the ELISA assay for bisphenol A was 0.13 ng/ml, which is more sensitive than the other immunoassays reported. Then, the cDNA clones encoding variable heavy and vari...

Effect of bisphenol-A on neurodevelopment in Drosophila melanogaster larvae" (2016).

This chapter reviews the latest research on bisphenol A (BPA), including human exposure, discussions of biomonitoring studies, and toxickinetic models, human health effects and research needs, and experimental studies on low dose effects on the reproductive, neurodevelopmental, and metabolic systems. While the objective here is not to conduct a risk assessment nor directly inform public policy,...

Considerable concerns about bisphenol A (BPA) as a potential endocrine disruptor remain controversial among dentists and patients due to the study of Olea et al. (1). Their study has frequently been mentioned in scientific papers as well as in the mass media, popular journals, and books. When I read the paper, I was shocked to find unscientific data related to high performance liquid chromatogr...

In the past 20 years, obesity rates across the developed world have skyrocketed. About one-third of U.S. adults are overweight and another third are obese, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. Similarly, more than one-third of U.S. children are overweight or at risk for overweight. The result is a host of health problems for millions of people, incl...
