Results for Bisphenol ADecreased time spent nursing and in the nest and increased time spent resting alone, grooming, out of the nest or nest building among mice exposed during gestation only; increased time spent resting alone was the only significant behavior among mice exposed during gestation and again in pregnant adulthood |
Subjects: CD-1 mice Chemical: Bisphenol A Low doses tested: 10 μg/kg bw/dy Route of administration: dissolved in corn oil and delivered through a micropipette Exposure duration: gestational day 14 – gestational day 18, with a subset also dosed at 2.5 months of age while pregnant (comparable to human prenatal development from approximately day 1 of week 6 to day 1 of week 11) Age of measurement: birth through adulthood |
