Strain-specific induction of endometrial periglandular fibrosis in mice exposed during adulthood to the endocrine disrupting chemical bisphenol A

Reproductive toxicology (Elmsford, N.Y.) ·doi:10.1016/j.reprotox.2015.08.001

The aim of this study was to compare effects of bisphenol A (BPA) on collagen accumulation in uteri of two mouse strains. Adult C57Bl/6N and CD-1 mice were exposed to dietary BPA (0.004-40mg/kg/day) or 17α-ethinyl estradiol (0.00002-0.001mg…
