Background: Human toxicity of bisphenol-A (BPA), a weak estrogenic environmental endocrine disruptor widely used in plastics, babybottles, cans and dental sealants, is under investigation. Human pharmacokinetics involves a rapid inactivation by hepatic glucuronyl- or sulfoconjugation and renal clearance. Fetal or perinatal exposure in rodents is associated with programmed adult reproductive diseases. Human epidemiological studies remain scarce especially concerning testicular ...

Context: Differentiating Cushings disease (CD) from pseudo-Cushings syndrome (PCS) is one of the most challenging problems since no biological test is yet perfect. Almost 30 years ago our group demonstrated the interest of 4 mg i.v. dexamethasone suppressing test (DST) to differentiate obese patients to CD.Objective: To reevaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the 4 mg i.v. DST in carefully selected patients with PCS and CD.<p class="abstext...
