This study aims to critically summarize the literature about bisphenol A (BPA), indicate whether and how those risks are real and emphasize how it is eventually possible to prevent them. With this in mind, we should consider nature, risks and control of BPA, as well as its presence and its role in sealants and composites. It is important to note that we will focus on literature exclusively writ...

Children are directly exposed to bisphenol A (BPA) and other putative environmental obesogens through both diet and household products. The purpose of this study was to investigate sexand genetic-dependent effects of BPA consumption on traits relevant to obesity and Type 2 diabetes in juveniles, using mice as models. Two strains of mice (C57BL/6J and DBA/2J) were chosen to represent distinct ge...

The extensive global use of bisphenols (bisphenol A (BPA) and its analogs) is serious concern to human health aquatic ecosystems. Aquatic plants rhizosphere microorganisms can largely affect the environmental fate bisphenols. In this study, association between common reed, which distributed widely in environment, existing surrounding area roots was studied illustrate capabilities possible mecha...

BACKGROUND Preterm birth (PTB), a leading cause of infant mortality and morbidity, has a complex etiology with a multitude of interacting causes and risk factors. The role of environmental contaminants, particularly bisphenol A (BPA), is understudied with regard to PTB. OBJECTIVES In the present study we examined the relationship between longitudinally measured BPA exposure during gestation a...

The present study investigated the effects of the known xenoestrogen bisphenol A (BPA) relative to eight BPA-related diphenylalkanes on estrogen receptor (ER)-mediated vitellogenin (vtg) production in hepatocytes from male carp (Cyprinus carpio), and on aromatase (CYP19) activity in the human adrenocortical H295R carcinoma cell line. Of the eight diphenylalkanes, only 4,4'-(hexafluoropropyliden...

The reactivity of bisphenol A (BPA), diethylstilbestrol (DEST) 2,2'-biphenol (22'BP), 4,4'-biphenol (44'BP) and hydroquinone (HQ) as radical scavengers was examined in 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN)- and benzoyl peroxide (BPO)-induced methyl methacrylate (MMA) polymerization with respect to kinetic considerations. The initial rate of polymerization (IRP) was found to decrease in the order: ...

We showed previously that orally administered bisphenol A (BPA) easily crosses the placental barrier and enters the fetus. However, BPA glucuronide transport and metabolism in the fetus was not studied. We examined the transport of orally administered BPA and BPA glucuronide into mature rat testis and fetus of pregnant rats. After administration of an oral dose of 10 mg BPA per kg body weight t...

Introduction: Bisphenol A (BPA) is a substance commonly used in industry for the production of everyday plastic products. It also found thermal paper. Global pollution environment by BPA results constant exposure to its harmful effects. This penetrates skin, respiratory tract and food into body. BPA, due structure similar estrogens, disturbs e.g. functioning endocrine system increases risk cert...
