1. 1. Impact of BPA, BPF and Mixture N1 on DNA-Methylation of GRIN2B and NR3C1 during human neuroprogenitor cell differentiation

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Fysiologi och miljötoxikologi

   Author : Franziska Sophie Richter; [2023]
   Keywords : Epigenetics; Endocrine disrupting chemicals; DNA methylation; EDCs; Mixture effects; BPA; BPF; Mixture N1;

   Abstract : Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are ubiquitous and their adverse impact on nature, wildlife and humans is extensively researched. We are constantly exposed to EDCs, such as the widespread and extensively researched Bisphenol A, as well as its substitute Bisphenol F, which is coming into wider use, even though it is much less is researched and limited information is available about its endocrine effects.

3. 2. An Investigation of The Link Between Endocrine Disruption and Developmental Neurotoxicity Induced by Environmental Pollutants : In Zebrafish Embryos

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för cell- och molekylärbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Maria Revenikioti; [2023]
   Keywords : Endocrine-disrupting chemical EDC ; Environmental pollutants; Endocrine disruption ED ; Developmental neurotoxicity DNT ; Development; Zebrafish embryos; Estradiol; DHT; BPF; PFOS.;

   Abstract : Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are known to cause endocrine disruption (ED), developmental neurotoxicity (DNT), infertility and impaired embryo development. EDCs do therefore impose a threat to humans, wildlife and the environment. READ MORE

4. 3. A review study of Bisphenol A : as an endocrine disrupting chemical in food contact material manufactured from polycarbonate and epoxy resin

   University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

   Author : Emma Danielsson; [2020]
   Keywords : BADGE; Bisphenol A; dietary Exposure; endocrine disrupting chemicals; epoxy resins; estrogenic activity; food contact material; food packaging; migration; plastic food containers; polycarbonate;

   Abstract : Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the worlds most produced chemicals. This compound is widely employed as an additive in polymers such as polycarbonates and epoxy resins in the manufacturing of plastics to provide transparency, rigidity and resistance to the resins. READ MORE

5. 4. DEVELOPMENTAL LOW-DOSE EXPOSURE TO BISPHENOL A ALTERS ADIPOCYTE CELL DENSITY AND INDUCES HYPERLIPIDEMIA IN FISCHER 344 RATS

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kvinnors och barns hälsa

   Author : Mohammad El-Ghezzaoui; [2015]
   Keywords : Inguinal adipose tissue • BPA • hyperplasia • hypertrophy • blood lipids;

   Abstract : ABSTRACT Background: Developmental exposure to endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC), such as Bisphenol A (BPA) has been shown to affect the health during early stages in life. Aim: To assess whether developmental low-dose exposure to BPA alters adipocyte distribution and blood lipid levels in Fischer 344 (F344) rats. READ MORE

6. 5. Screening of endocrine disrupting compounds in Swedish rivers : with focus on organic flame retardants and perfluoroalkylated substances
