Summary of epidemiological and animal evidence on the potential damage of BPA to diabetic coronary heart disease.

First author, Year study design study object Main findings Reference
Avinash Soundararajan, cross-sectional study human In patients with T2DM, elevated BPA levels are associated with cellular senescence, proinflammation, poor glycemic control, insulin resistance, and telomere shortening. [13]
Ziwei Chen, 2022 cross-sectional study human BPA was associated with CVD risk in a J-curve relationship. [72]
Fanny Rancière, 2015 meta-analysis human Individuals with higher urinary BPA concentrations are more likely to develop diabetes, general/abdominal obesity, and hypertension than those with lower urinary BPA concentrations. [73]
P Monica Lind, 2011 cross-sectional study human Phthalates and BPA have been linked to plaque echo. [74]
Pei-Lun Chu, 2021 cross-sectional study human In the presence of elevated BPA levels, there is a higher risk of thicker CIMT associated with altered MPs. BPA exposure is associated with endothelial dysfunction and subclinical atherosclerosis in younger populations. [75]
David Melzer, 2012 prospective study human The association between higher BPA exposure, as reflected by higher urinary concentrations, and CHD events over a follow-up period of more than ten years showed a similar trend to the cross-sectional findings reported previously for higher exposure NHANES respondents. [76]
Chunyun Hu, 2019 nested case-control study human BPA exposure is positively associated with diabetes and coronary heart disease. [77]
Alice Marmugi, 2014 animal experiment mice Chronic BPA exposure overexpresses genes critical for cholesterol biosynthesis, resulting in hypercholesterolemia in mice. [78]
Yipeng Sui, 2014 animal experiment mice BPA exposure did not affect plasma lipid levels but increased CD36 expression and lipid accumulation in mouse macrophages. [79]
