Is bisphenol A a weak carcinogen like the natural estrogens and diethylstilbestrol?

IUBMB life - 1 Oct 2010

Cavalieri Ercole L, Rogan Eleanor G

Abstract excerpt

Bisphenol A (BPA) displays weak estrogenic properties and could be a weak carcinogen by a mechanism similar to that of estrone (E(1)), estradiol (E(2)) and the synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol, a human carcinogen. A wide variety of scientific evidence supports the hypothesis that certain estrogen metabolites, predominantly catechol estrogen-3,4-quinones, react with DNA to cause mutations that can lead to the...
