Summary of dietary BPS exposure and obesogenic effects/metabolic disorders.

Specific Effect	Model Used	Results	Reference Number
Obesogenic Effects/Metabolic Disorders	Murine	BPS caused a transient loss in body weight in one behavioral study, but caused increased body weight via the activation of preadipocytes in all other studies	Kim et al. [33] Boucher et al. [34] Achmed & Atlas [35] Ivry Del Moral et al. [36]
	Sheep	BPS caused adipogenic differentiation in males, while BPA had the same effect in females	Pu et al. [37]
	human embryonic stem cells	BPS increased cellular expression of adipogenic genes and caused accumulated triglycerides	Wang et al. [38]
	Clinical/Observational	BPS levels correlated with insulin resistance, albuminuria, irregular vascular function and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)	Kataria et al. [39] Zhang et al. [40]
