Abstract
It is well-known that bisphenol A(BPA), an industrial raw material for polycarbonate and epoxy resins, shows estrogenic activity. Recent research from our laboratory has shown that SPA disrupts interaction between thyroid hormone and its receptor in a non-competitive manner, and alters the thyroid-hormone dependent expression of growth hormone(GH) and prolactin(PRL).
