Description

Bisphenol A is a chemical compound used to make polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. It is also used in the production of some dental sealants and composites. Bisphenol A has been shown to have an adverse effect on human health, as it has been linked to various diseases such as coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and breast cancer. The most sensitive route of exposure is through the maternal blood during pregnancy. This chemical can be found in some common food containers, including baby bottles and food cans. Bisphenol A binds to estrogen receptors and alters their activity levels by mimicking the natural hormone estradiol. The optimum concentration for binding varies depending on the cell type and receptor present. Bisphenol A can also increase or decrease certain enzyme activities in vitro depending on the concentrations used. Bisphenol A is also an analytical reagent that can be used for polymerase chain reactions (PCR) to identify genes from specific
