BPA: Hypotheses Begin to be Tested

Posted on March 31, 2010 by David Oliver

In "Perinatal Exposure to Bisphenol-A and the Development of Metabolic Syndrome in CD-1 Mice", just published in the journal Endocrinology, researchers tested the claim that exposure to a typical dose of BPA (1ppb via diet) increases the risk of high-fat diet-induced obesity and glucose intolerance. The experimental data did not support the claim. Interestingly, the BPA-fed mice grew a bit quicker early in life but by adulthood were the same size and body composition as the mice not fed BPA.
