Results for Bisphenol A

Increased mammary cell numbers in a pooled group of mice exposed to 6 and 12 μg/kg at 3 months of age compared to controls. At 6 and 12 months of age there was an increased % of PR positive luminal epithelial and wnt-4 mRNA expression in the mammary glands of mice exposed to 6.0 μg/kg.

Subjects: C57BL6/J mice

Chemical: Bisphenol A

Low doses tested: 0.6, 3.0, 6.0, 12.0, 120.0, 600.0 μg/kg bw/d

Other doses tested: 1200.0 μg/kg bw/d

Route of administration: delivered in drinking water daily

Exposure duration: gestational day 0 – post-natal day 24 (comparable to human prenatal development from approximately day 1 of week 1 to beyond birth)

Age of measurement: post-natal day 30 and post-natal months 3, 6 and 12
