Bisphenol-A (BPA) is a ubiquitous environmental chemical that produces adverse effect on reproduction system due to its potent estrogenic endocrine disruptive activity. The present study was aimed to investigate the monotonic dose effect of BPA on estrogen synthesis in female Sprague-Dawley rats. For this purpose, we administered three different doses of BPA (10, 50, 100 µg/kg bw/day) into rats and analyzed various biochemical, hormonal, molecular and histological parameters. 10 µg BPA treated rats showed significantly decreased levels of phase I detoxification agents (CYP450, Cyt-b5). Overexpression of eNOS with decreased expression of StAR and steroidogenic enzymes (CYP11A1, aromatase) indicate decreased ... More
