TLDR
The present results clearly indicate that BPA is metabolically activated in terms of estrogenicity under the conditions existing only with combined rat liver microsomes and cytosol.

Bisphenol A--sources, toxicity and biotransformation.

TL;DR: Biotransformation of BPA in animals, plants and microorganisms, resulting in the formation of various metabolites that exhibit different from BPA toxicity will be described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative study of the endocrine-disrupting activity of bisphenol A and 19 related compounds.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the 4-hydroxyl group of the A- phenyl ring and the B-phenyl ring of BPA derivatives are required for these hormonal activities, and substituents at the 3,5-positions of the phenyl rings and the bridging alkyl moiety markedly influence the activities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biodegradation or metabolism of bisphenol A: from microorganisms to mammals.

TL;DR: Bisphenol A biodegradations or metabolisms by many organisms from microorganisms to mammals were referred, and generally, BPA metabolism by organisms leads to detoxication of BPA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determination of Free and Conjugated Forms of Bisphenol A in Human Urine and Serum by Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry

TL;DR: This is the first report on the occurrence of BPAG and BPADS in human serum, and the method was applied to measure six target chemicals in urine and serum samples collected from volunteers in Albany, New York.

Methods for detecting carcinogens and mutagens with the salmonella/mammalian-microsome mutagenicity test

TL;DR: The methods described include the standard plate test, the use and storage of the bacterial tester strains, preparation and use of the liver homogenates, and the methods of inducing the rats for elevated microsomal enzyme activity.

Bisphenol-A: an estrogenic substance is released from polycarbonate flasks during autoclaving

TL;DR: The findings raise the possibility that unsuspected estrogenic activity in the form of BPA may have an impact on experiments employing media autoclaved in polycarbonate flasks, and it remains to be determined whether BPA derived from consumer products manufactured from poly carbonate could significantly contribute to the pool of estrogenic substances in the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estrogenic activity of surfactants and some of their degradation products assessed using a recombinant yeast screen

TL;DR: An estrogen-inducible screen was developed in yeast in order to assess whether surfactants and their major degradation products are estrogenic, and one class of surfactant classes degrade to persistent metabolites that were weakly estrogenic.

Estrogenicity of resin-based composites and sealants used in dentistry.

TL;DR: The use of bis-GMA-based resins in dentistry, and particularly the use of sealants in children, appears to contribute to human exposure to xenoestrogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Xenoestrogens released from lacquer coatings in food cans.

TL;DR: It is apparent that all estrogenic activity in these cans was due to bisphenol-A leached from the lacquer coating, and the use of plastic in food-packaging materials may require closer scrutiny to determine whether epoxy resins and polycarbonates contribute to human exposure to xenoestrogens.
