Treatments were performed at different concentrations (L = 2 mg/kg; H = 20 mg/kg) of BPA and BPS, at two different times of exposure (2 weeks and 8 weeks). Concentration in liver (conc. in liver) at the time point of sampling is indicated in ng/g (wet weight). C, control group. Letters indicate statistically significant difference with respect to control within each group (MRT p < 0.05). n, number of individuals. Assessments were performed on 49 individuals for the 2 weeks’ and 43 individuals for the 8 weeks’ exposure. Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation.
