<p>* at least p<0.05 vs. their controls.</p
Effects of BPA on mRNA levels of tryptophan hydroxylase type 1 (Tph1) (panel A) and tryptophan hydroxylase type 2 (Tph2) (panel B) in prefrontal cortex of BPA-treated male and female rats and their respective controls.

Western blots for the detection of 5α-Reductase type 1 (5α-R1) (panel A), 5α-Reductase type 2 (5α-R2) (panel B) and aromatase (panel C) in prostate of control and BPA-treated rats at tolerable daily intake (TDI) dose of 50 µg/Kg/d for 4 days.
<p>Equal loading of protein was determined using an anti β-actin antibody. A representative image of three independent experiments is shown for each blot. Normalization for loading differences was achieved by dividing the densitometry values for individual bands by the densitometry values for β-actin in the same lane. Data represent the mean of three independent experiments. <sup>#</sup>P<0.05 vs. Control animals.</p
Plasma testosterone (T) concentration (panel A), estradiol (E2) concentration (panel B), and estradiol/testosterone (E2/T) ratio (panel C) in control and BPA-treated rats at doses of 25, 50, 300, or 600 µg/Kg/d for 4 days.
<p>*P<0.01 vs. Control animals.</p
