Bisphenol A induced changes in absolute and relative weight of cauda epididymis of mice.
| Sr. No. | Experimental groups | Absolute weight | Relative weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control groups | |||
| I | Untreated control | 24.12 0.26 | 61.53±0.39 |
| II | Vehicle control (0.2 ml olive oil/animal/day) | 24.08±0.16 | 61.48±0.71 |
| BPA-treated groups | |||
| III | BPA-Low dose (80 mg/kg bodyweight/day) | 21.32±0.34* (11.44) | 54.99±0.87* (10.54) |
| IV | BPA-Medium dose (120 mg/kg bodyweight/day) | 18.54±0.27* (22.98) | 49.54±1.06* (19.56) |
| V | BPA-High dose(240 mg/kg bodyweight/day) | 15.98±0.28* (33.84) | 42.94±1.00* (30.16) |
Values are mean±S.E.M., n=10. Values shown in parenthesis indicate: Brackets – Percent change in BPA-treated from vehicle treated control group. Significance at the level of *p<0.05, as compared with vehicle control group. No significant difference was noted between untreated and vehicle control group. Units: Absolute weight – mg; Relative weight – mg/100 gm body weight.
