Sex specific impact of perinatal bisphenol A (BPA) exposure over a range of orally administered doses on rat hypothalamic sexual differentiation
NEUROTOXICOLOGY, 36, 55–62.
author keywords: Endocrine disruption; Estrogen; Hypothalamus; Sexually dimorphic; Dopamine
MeSH headings : Administration, Oral; Air Pollutants, Occupational / toxicity; Analysis of Variance; Animals; Benzhydryl Compounds / administration & dosage; Benzhydryl Compounds / toxicity; Calbindins / metabolism; Cell Count; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Female; Hypothalamus / drug effects; Hypothalamus / metabolism; Male; Phenols / administration & dosage; Phenols / toxicity; Pregnancy; Prenatal Exposure Delayed Effects / chemically induced; Rats; Rats, Long-Evans; Sex Differentiation / physiology; Tyrosine 3-Monooxygenase / metabolism
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that early life oral exposure to BPA at levels well below the current No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) of 50mg/kg/day can alter sex specific hypothalamic morphology in the rat.

Disrupted Organization of RFamide Pathways in the Hypothalamus Is Associated with Advanced Puberty in Female Rats Neonatally Exposed to Bisphenol A
BIOLOGY OF REPRODUCTION, 87(2).
author keywords: endocrine disruptor; kisspeptin; puberty; RFRP
MeSH headings : Animals; Benzhydryl Compounds; Body Weight / drug effects; Estrogens, Non-Steroidal / toxicity; Female; Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone / metabolism; Hypothalamus / drug effects; Kisspeptins / metabolism; Male; Neuropeptides / metabolism; Phenols / toxicity; Puberty, Precocious / blood; Puberty, Precocious / chemically induced; Rats; Rats, Transgenic; Rats, Wistar; Vagina / drug effects
TL;DR:
Data suggest that BPA-induced premature puberty results from decreased inhibition of GnRH neurons, which are critical for initiating puberty and maintaining estrous cyclicity by stimulating gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) release.
