Results for Bisphenol AIncreased glutamate-induced CA3 neuronal damage (not mediated through estrogen receptors); when dosed with 0.001 μM, also increased expression of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor in CA3, upregulated the spine density of the apical portion of CA3 dendrites and enhanced the sprouting of mossy fiber terminals to CA3 neurons |
Subjects: Wistar rat fetal hippocampal cells Chemical: Bisphenol A Low doses tested: 1 pM, 1 nM, 1 μM or 100 μM Route of administration: dissolved in ethanol and added to culture media Exposure duration: gestational day 19 – single dose (comparable to human prenatal development from approximately day 1 of week 10 to day 1 of week 11) Age of measurement: in vitro at 20 days post-fertilization |
