Hepatic Detoxification of Bisphenol A is Retinoid-Dependent.

TL;DR: How retinoids, both those stored in the liver and those originating from recent oral intake, help maintain an optimal xenobiotic detoxification response is explored, affecting mRNA expression and activities of elements of xenobiotics detoxification system upon BPA administration to mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bisphenol A in human saliva and urine before and after treatment with dental polymer-based restorative materials.

TL;DR: There was a statistically significant increase of salivary BPA concentration directly after placement of the dental polymer‐based restorations, and following placement, the concentration of BPA decreased exponentially with time.
Journal ArticleDOI

A case-control study of Bisphenol A and endometrioma among subgroup of Iranian women

TL;DR: A positive association between urinary BPA concentrations and endometrioma was showed, however, further large-scale studies are needed to confirm this hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A simple method for the enrichment of bisphenols using boron nitride.

TL;DR: A simple solid-phase extraction method for the enrichment of 5 bisphenol derivatives using hexagonal boron nitride (BN) was developed and showed good recovery rates ranging from 80% to 110%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bisphenol a induces steatosis in HepaRG cells using a model of perinatal exposure.

TL;DR: HepaRG cells provide a valuable model that can prove useful for the toxicological assessment of endocrine disruptors on hepatic metabolisms, in particular in the developing liver, according to the kinetics of expression of seven proteins differentially expressed during liver development.

Interaction of estrogenic chemicals and phytoestrogens with estrogen receptor beta.

TL;DR: The estrogenic activity of environmental chemicals and phytoestrogens in competition binding assays with ERα or ERβ protein, and in a transient gene expression assay using cells in which an acute estrogenic response is created by cotransfecting cultures with recombinant human ERβ complementary DNA (cDNA) in the presence of an estrogen-dependent reporter plasmid are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human exposure to bisphenol A (BPA).

TL;DR: The reported levels of BPA in human fluids are higher than the BPA concentrations reported to stimulate molecular endpoints in vitro and appear to be within an order of magnitude of the levels needed to induce effects in animal models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exposure of the U.S. population to bisphenol A and 4-tertiary-octylphenol: 2003-2004

TL;DR: Urine concentrations of total BPA differed by race/ethnicity, age, sex, and household income, and these first U.S. population representative concentration data for urinary BPA and tOP should help guide public health research priorities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bisphenol-A and the Great Divide: A Review of Controversies in the Field of Endocrine Disruption

TL;DR: This review has covered the above-mentioned controversies plus six additional issues that have divided scientists in the field of BPA research, namely: mechanisms of bisphenol-A action; levels of human exposure; 3) routes of human Exposure; 4) pharmacokinetic models of Bpa metabolism; 5) effects of B PA on exposed animals; and 6) links between BPA and cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal nutrient supplementation counteracts bisphenol A-induced DNA hypomethylation in early development.

TL;DR: This paper showed that maternal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), a high-production-volume chemical used in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastic, is associated with higher body weight, increased breast and prostate cancer, and altered reproductive function.
