Abstract
The associations between Bisphenol A (BPA) exposure with prolactin and progesterone hormone levels is been considered globally. A three months study was conducted with female albino rats exposed to BPA. The blood samples were collected for assay of prolactin (PRL), and progesterone (PROG). A significant positive association between increased BPA concentration and higher PRL and PROG levels were observed. The results suggest that BPA exposure may lead to alterations in female reproductive hormone levels.
