Figure 6. Effects of BPA on the percentages of leptotene and diplotene stages.
A– percentage of leptotene stage increased at all doses and time points. The increase was at the limit of significance for 1 nM at D8 (p = 0.06) and significant for D14 and D21 at the two doses (p<0.05). B – diplotene stage percentage decreased at all doses and time points. The increase was not significant for 1 nM at D8 and was significant for D14 and D21 at the two doses (p<0.05). Each bar represents the mean ±SD (n = 3 cultures for D8 and D14, and 2 cultures for D21) versus control. C = control culture, 1 and 10 = 1 nM and 10 nM BPA, respectively.
