Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of BPA on reproductive characteristic and blood hematological and chemical values in mice. The male mice were intraperitoneally injected BPA in native control(no treatment), positive control(corn oil, 3$m\ell$/kg B.W), 0.05, 0.5 and 5.0mg BPA/kg B.W and female mice were injected BPA in control(corn oil, 3$m\ell$/kg B.W), 0.05, 0.5 and 5.0mg BPA/kg B.W with 5 times at 3 days interval for 14 days. The administration of BPA in male mice didn't affect the body and reproductive organ weight such as testis, epididymis, vesicular gland and coagulating gland. We found that the 5.0mg BPA group was significantly reduced the sperm concentration and increased the sperm abnormality compared to native, positive control and 0.05mg BPA groups(P<0.05), but any other effects were not found in sperm viability and motility in BPA treatment groups. The RBC, HB, HT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, albumin, BUN and total protein of blood hematological and chemical values in male were not different in all experimental groups(P>0.05). However, the value of WBC was slightly lower in BPA treatment groups than that of control groups and PLT was slightly higher in BPA groups than that of control groups, but not significantly defference among the experimental groups(P>0.05). In female mice, the effects of BPA on body weight didn’t affect in all experimental groups, but ovary weights in 0.5 and 5.0mg BPA groups were significantly increased compared to those in control and 0.05mg BPA group(P<0.05). The uterine weight in BPA groups was slightly higher than that of control group, but not significantly different in all experimental groups(P>0.05). The RBC, Hb, HT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, albumin and total protein of blood hematological and chemical values in female were not different in all experimental groups(P>0.05). The values of WBC and PLT in BPA groups were slightly higher than that of control, but not significantly different among the experimental groups. The concentration of BUN was the higher in BPA groups than that of control group. The histological evaluation of testis, ovary and uterus were not different in all experimental groups.

본 연구는 내분비 장애물질 중 관찰물질로 지정된 BPA의 투여가 생쥐의 번식특성과 생리기능에 미치는 영향을 검토한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 웅성 생쥐에 BPA를 체중 kg당 무처리구, 대조구, 0.05, 0.5 및 5.0mg BPA을 투여한 구에서 실험개시시와 실험종료시의 체중, 정소상체, 정낭선 및 응고선의 무게는 투여구간에 커다란 차이가 없었으며, 정소의 무게는 5.0mg 투여구가 다소 낮은 무게를 나타냈지만 통계적 유의차는 없었다. BPA의 투여가 웅성 생쥐의 정액성상에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과, 생존율과 유효정자수는 각 투여구간에 커다란 차이가 없었으나 정자농도는 5.0mg 투여구가 여타구보다 통계적으로 유의하게 낮은 정자농도를 나타냈다(P<0.05). 기형율은 5.0mg 투여구가 무처리구, 대조구 및 0.05mg 투여구보다 통계적으로 유의하게 높은 기형율을 나타냈다(P<0.05). 웅성의 혈액성상에 미치는 영향에서 RBC, HB, HT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, albumin, BUN 및 total protein은 각 투여구간에 차이가 없었으며, WBC는 BPA 투여구가 무처리구 및 대조구보다 다소 낮은 수치를 나타냈지만 통계적 유의차는 인정되지 않았으며, PLT는 BPA 투여구가 무처리구 및 대조구보다 높은 수치를 나타냈지만 통계적 유의차는 인정되지 않았다. BPA의 투여가 자성 생쥐의 번식기관 무게에 미치는 영향은 실험개시시 체중, 실험종료시 체중 및 자궁의 무게는 투여구간에 커다란 차이가 없었지만, 오른쪽 난소의 무게는 0.5mg 투여구와 5.0mg 투여구가 대조구 및 0.05mg 투여구보다 낮은 무게를 나타냈으며(P<0.05), 왼쪽 난소의 무게는 0.5mg 투여구가 대조구 및 0.05mg 투여구보다 통계적으로 유의하게 낮은 무게를 나타냈다(P<0.05). 자성 생쥐의 혈액성상에 미치는 영향은 RBC, HB, HT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, albumin 및 total protein은 각 투여구간에 차이가 없었으며, WBC는 BPA 투여구가 대조구보다 다소 높은 수치를 나타냈지만 통계적 유의차는 인정되지 않았으며, PLT는 0.5mg 투여구와 5.0mg 투여구가 대조구보다 높은 수치를 나타냈지만 통계적 유의차는 인정되지 않았다. 혈중 BUN의 함량은 BPA 투여구가 대조구 보다 통계적으로 유의하게 낮은 함량을 나타냈다(P<0.05). 정소, 난소 및 자궁의 조직검사에서는 모든 투여구간에 커다란 차이는 인정되지 않았다.
