BPA and Estrogen Receptor Dynamics

This chapter explores how bisphenol A (BPA) and similar xenoestrogens interact with estrogen receptors, revealing their complex mechanisms and potency compared to natural estrogens. It emphasizes non-traditional pathways through which these chemicals exhibit significant biological effects, particularly at low doses, and describes the three levels of receptor control within cells. The discussion highlights the implications of these interactions on hormonal functions and metabolic responses in both men and women, uncovering distinct differences in how they are affected by environmental estrogens.
