Human meiotic progression and recombination are affected by Bisphenol A exposure during in vitro human oocyte development
26 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Bisphenol A (BPA) is a 'weak' endocrine disruptor. The effect of BPA on human reproduction is controversial but has been related to meiotic anomalies, recurrent miscarriages and abnormal karyotypes. METHODS: To evaluate the effects of BPA on survival, pairing-synapsis and meiotic recombination of human fetal oocytes, 21 510 oocytes from 12 cultured fetal ovaries were analyzed. Ovaries were cultured...
