In vivo effects of short-term treatment with Bisphenol A (BPA) on mice pancreatic islets
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Bisphenol-A (BPA) is one of the most widespread endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC) used as the base compound in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastics. Although evidence points to consider exposure to BPA as a risk factor for the development of Diabetes, its actions on whole body metabolism and on pancreatic beta cells are still unclear. The aim of this study was to study the in vivo effects of BPA on mice pancreatic islets, particularly on how it could regulate ion channels expression and function. And thus, bringing mechanistic insight into the suggested association between BPA exposure and health disorders. We used microarrays to detail the global profile of gene expression to identified different groups of up and down-regulated genes in the work model, with a special focus on genes related to ion channel-mediated actions of BPA in mice pancreatic β-cells.
