Resumen

Bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine disruptor, is a component of polycarbonate plastics, epoxy resins, and polystyrene. Several studies have reported potent in vivo effects, because BPA behaves as an estrogen agonist and/or antagonist and as an androgen and thyroid hormone antagonist. We investigated the effects of neonatal exposure to BPA on the reproductive axis in adult female Sprague-Dawley rats.
