Liver tumours found in mice exposed to BPA

In one of the first studies to show a significant association between Bisphenol A (BPA) and cancer development, University of Michigan School of Public Health researchers have found liver tumours in mice exposed to the chemical via their mothers during gestation and nursing. 

"We found that 27 per cent of the mice exposed to one of three different doses of BPA through their mother's diet developed liver tumours and some precancerous lesions. The higher the dosage, the more likely they were to present with tumours," said Caren Weinhouse, U-M doctoral student in the School of Public Health's Department of Environmental Health Sciences and first author of the paper published online in Environmental Health Perspectives.
