Synergistic effects of bisphenol A and paraben on the induction of calbindin-D9k and progesterone receptors via an estrogen receptor pathway in rat pituitary GH3 cells

Jung E. , Choi K. , Jeung E.

Introduction: There are concerns about the combined estrogenic effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), since mixtures of these chemicals exist in our environment. This study investigated potential synergistic interactions between bisphenol A (BPA) and isobutylparaben (IBP), which are major xenoestrogens used in the manufacture of plastics, cosmetics, drugs, and other products. The combined effects of these two chemicals were analyzed by measuring expression of calbin...
