Abstract:Biomonitoring studies indicate that 90% of the population is routinely exposed to Bisphenol‐A (BPA), a compound commonly found in household plastics. Environmental exposure varies between 1– 100 nM, while clinical and industrial exposure can reach 10 uM. Epidemiological studies have shown an association between increased BPA exposure and cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to test the direct effects of BPA on cardiac function using a Langendorff‐perfusion model. Excised female rat hearts were treated with 1 nM‐1… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
