Transcriptional effects of BPA on the liver of gilthead sea bream. Data are reported as mean ± SEM. All data are normalized to the expression level of zp1 of POST-CTRL fish with an arbitrarily assigned value of 1. Asterisk superscript (*) indicates significant differences between the POST-CTRL group and the treatment (one-way ANOVA, Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test, * (p < 0.05), ** (p < 0.01)). Abbreviations: vtga: vitellogenin a; zp1: zona pellucida—like domain—containing protein 1; zp3: zona pellucida sperm-binding protein 3.

Gene	POST-CTRL	BPA LOW	BPA HIGH
