Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: EDCs, from varied sources, may have organisational effects during development and/or activational effects in adulthood that influence sexually‐dimorphic, reproductively‐relevant processes or other functions, by mimicking, antagonising or altering steroidal actions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of perinatal exposure to bisphenol A on sociosexual behavior of female and male rats.

TL;DR: BPA administration, both during pregnancy and during lactation, does not masculinize female behavior or potentiate masculinization processes of males, and on the contrary, a potentiation of female behavior in females and a depotentiation of male behavior in males are observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perinatal exposure to the estrogenic pollutant bisphenol A affects behavior in male and female rats.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the prolonged treatment with the low dosage compensates for the higher dosage given during a shorter steroid-sensitive period, which may be a cause of concern for public health, given the greater incidence of prolonged exposure of humans to low concentrations released into the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of perinatal exposure to bisphenol A on play behavior of female and male juvenile rats.
TL;DR: An early action of BPA is observed on several behavioral categories in both males and females, including a masculinization of female behavior in two behavioral categories (play with females and sociosexual exploration), an effect probably mediated by the estrogenic activity of B PA in the CNS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Altered profiles of spontaneous novelty seeking, impulsive behavior, and response to D-amphetamine in rats perinatally exposed to bisphenol A.

TL;DR: Findings provide clear indirect evidence of long-term alterations in brain monoaminergic function after perinatal BPA exposure, confirming that exposure to a weak environmental estrogen in the period of sexual differentiation of the brain can influence adult behavior.
