Comparison of estradiol Bisphenol A (BPA) and genistein levels in newborns, infants, and adults. For all age groups and in all fluids listed, genistein levels are higher than BPA levels. Compiled values represent the range of those previously reported and do not take into account methodological differences or sample sizes. Thus, values presented should be considered representative. Circulating estradiol levels were obtained from references [294,73,266] and the UK General Practice Notebook (http://www.gpnotebook.co.uk/simplepage.cfm?ID=570818627&linkID=24801&cook=yes). (See below mentioned reference for further information.)
