Prenatal bisphenol A (BPA) exposure alters the transcriptome of the neonate rat amygdala in a sex-specific manner: a CLARITY-BPA consortium study

NEUROTOXICOLOGY, 65, 207–220.

By: S. Arambula n, D. Jima n & H. Patisaul n

author keywords: Endocrine disruptor; EDC; Brain; Oxytocin; Sex difference; Estrogen; Androgen
MeSH headings : Amygdala / drug effects; Amygdala / metabolism; Animals; Animals, Newborn; Benzhydryl Compounds / toxicity; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Ethinyl Estradiol / pharmacology; Female; Male; Phenols / toxicity; Pregnancy; Prenatal Exposure Delayed Effects / metabolism; Rats; Sex Characteristics; Signal Transduction / drug effects; Transcriptome / drug effects
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that that prenatal BPA exposure can disrupt the transcriptome of the neonate amygdala, at doses below the FDA No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL), in a sex‐specific manner and indicate that the female amygdala may be more sensitive to BPA Exposure during fetal development.
