Bisphenol A(BPA)is a chemical estrogen-like sub-stance with properties that are of environmental concern.It is widely used in the chemical industry to manufactureepoxy-and polyester-styrene resins.It has been reportedthat BPA ranges between0and33μg in each plasticcup[1].After atwo-weekexposureto0.5%bisphenol Aithas beenreportedthat disattachments betweensertoli cellsand spermatogonia were observed while spermatogoniawere arrangedin disorder and displacement of spermatogo-nia away fromthe basement membrance ...
In order to evaluate the toxicity of the bisphenol A (BPA) on the growth of zebrafish embryos, fertilized eggs were exposed to the concentration of 2.00, 4.00, 6.00, 8.00, 10.00, 15.00, 18.00, 22.00 and 25.00mg/L BPA for 72 h at 26±1℃. The results revealed that the sublethal toxicological endpoints induced by BPA were:delayed hatch> blood balk >cyst>altered axial curvature and tail malformation. The median embryo lethal concentration (LC50) after 24 h was 16.36 mg/L. We concluded that the BPA toxic...
