Research Abstract |
We demonstrated that prenatal and lactational exposure to bisphenol A(BPA) affected fetal brain development, resulting in disturbed murine behavior accompanied with disrupted neurotransmitter system, including monoamines, in the postnatal development period and in adult mice. We also demonstrated that epigenetic alterations in promoter-associated CpG islands might underlie some of the effects on brain development after exposure to BPA.
