Sex Specific Placental Accumulation and Behavioral Effects of Developmental Firemaster 550 Exposure in Wistar Rats

SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 7.

By: K. Baldwin n, A. Phillips *, B. Horman n, S. Arambula n, M. Rebuli n, H. Stapleton *, H. Patisaul n 

MeSH headings : Age Factors; Analysis of Variance; Animals; Behavior, Animal / drug effects; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Female; Flame Retardants / adverse effects; Flame Retardants / analysis; Male; Molecular Structure; Placenta / drug effects; Placenta / metabolism; Pregnancy; Rats; Rats, Wistar; Sex Factors
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that environmental chemicals may sex-dependently accumulate in the placenta, and that sex-biased exposure might translate to sex-specific adverse outcomes such as behavioral deficits. (via Semantic Scholar)

2016 journal article

Interaction of bisphenol A (BPA) and soy phytoestrogens on sexually dimorphic sociosexual behaviors in male and female rats

HORMONES AND BEHAVIOR, 84, 121–126.

By: K. Hicks n, A. Sullivan n, J. Cao n, E. Sluzas n, M. Rebuli n & H. Patisaul n 

author keywords: Endocrine disruption; Neuroendocrine disruption; Neuropeptides; Social; Diet; Open field; Affiliation; Activity; Environment
MeSH headings : Animals; Benzhydryl Compounds / pharmacology; Endocrine Disruptors / pharmacology; Exploratory Behavior / drug effects; Female; Isoflavones / pharmacology; Male; Phenols / pharmacology; Phytoestrogens / pharmacology; Rats; Sexual Behavior, Animal / drug effects; Social Behavior
TL;DR: Testing the individual and combined effects of low dose oral BPA and soy diet or the individual isoflavone genistein on rat sociosexual behaviors with the hypothesis that soy would obfuscate any BPA-related effects reinforces that environmental factors can shape complex behaviors and even reverse expected sex differences.

TL;DR: This work is the first to observe that developmental exposure to the synthetic estrogen ethinyl estradiol (EE) or BPA alters the sex-specific colonization of the hippocampus and amygdala by microglia. (via Semantic Scholar)

2014 journal article

Investigation of the Effects of Subchronic Low Dose Oral Exposure to Bisphenol A (BPA) and Ethinyl Estradiol (EE) on Estrogen Receptor Expression in the Juvenile and Adult Female Rat Hypothalamus

TOXICOLOGICAL SCIENCES, 140(1), 190–203.

By: M. Rebuli n, J. Cao n, E. Sluzas n, K. Delclos *, L. Camacho *, S. Lewis *, M. Vanlandingham*, H. Patisaul n 

author keywords: brain; endocrine disruptor; endocrine disruption; hypothalamus; development; subchronic exposure; sexually dimorphic; ethinyl estradiol; bisphenol A
MeSH headings : Aging / metabolism; Animals; Benzhydryl Compounds / toxicity; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Estrogen Receptor alpha / genetics; Estrogen Receptor beta / genetics; Ethinyl Estradiol / toxicity; Female; Gene Expression / drug effects; Hypothalamus / drug effects; Hypothalamus / embryology; Hypothalamus / growth & development; Hypothalamus / metabolism; Male; Phenols / toxicity; Pregnancy; Prenatal Exposure Delayed Effects / chemically induced; Prenatal Exposure Delayed Effects / metabolism; Rats, Sprague-Dawley; Receptors, Estrogen / genetics; Sex Characteristics
TL;DR: The impact of subchronic exposure from gestation to adulthood to oral doses of BPA below the current no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) of 5 mg/kg body weight (bw)/day on estrogen receptor (ESR) expression in sexually dimorphic brain regions of prepubertal and adult female rats is examined.

2012 journal article

Anxiogenic Effects of Developmental Bisphenol A Exposure Are Associated with Gene Expression Changes in the Juvenile Rat Amygdala and Mitigated by Soy

PLOS ONE, 7(9).

By: H. Patisaul n , A. Sullivan n, M. Radford n, D. Walker *, H. Adewale n, B. Winnik*, J. Coughlin*, B. Buckley *, A. Gore *

MeSH headings : Amygdala / drug effects; Animals; Anxiety / chemically induced; Anxiety / etiology; Benzhydryl Compounds / adverse effects; Estrogen Receptor beta / metabolism; Female; Gene Expression Profiling; Genistein / pharmacology; Maternal Exposure; Phenols / adverse effects; Pregnancy; Pregnancy, Animal; Rats; Rats, Wistar; Receptors, Melanocortin / metabolism; Sex Characteristics; Soybeans / drug effects; Water / chemistry
TL;DR: Results show that behavioral impacts of BPA can manifest during adolescence, but wane in adulthood, and may be mitigated by diet, and reveal that, because ERβ and melanocortin receptors are crucial to their function, oxytocin/vasopressin signaling pathways, which have been linked to human affective disorders, may underlie these behavioral outcomes.
