Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the potential effects of Bisphenol F and S exposure on the skeletal structures of Sprague-Dawley rats. Given the increasing concern about the potential endocrine-disrupting effects of Bisphenol analogs on bone health, this research sought to elucidate their impact in conjunction with Melatonin. Using 80 male Sprague Dawley rats, bones were subjected to a 3-point bending test to assess mechanical properties, and histopathological evaluation was conducted after fixation and decalcification. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. The results of the mechanical tests revealed significant differences in deformation and elastic modulus values between groups treated with Bisphenol F+Melatonin and Bisphenol S+Melatonin compared to the control groups. However, the histological images showed no significant differences between the groups. In the discussion, it was noted that the injection of Bisphenol F and Melatonin together increased bone hardness, suggesting that Bisphenol F and Bisphenol S may mitigate the negative effects of melatonin on bone. We attributed the absence of histological differences to the male gender of the studied rats and previous exposure considerations. This study shows that Melatonin can reduce Bisphenol F and Bisphenol S′ rapid adjustment effects and increase bone elasticity. The side effects of Bisphenol F and S, as well as the prophylactic effects of Melatonin, can be observed and improved by carefully adjusting the duration, dose, and gender selection.
本研究旨在评估接触双酚 F 和 S 对 Sprague-Dawley 大鼠骨骼结构的潜在影响。鉴于人们越来越关注双酚类似物对骨骼健康的潜在内分泌干扰作用,本研究试图结合褪黑素来阐明其影响。使用 80 只雄性 Sprague Dawley 大鼠,对骨骼进行三点弯曲测试,以评估其机械性能,并在固定和脱钙后进行组织病理学评估。使用 SPSS 进行了统计分析。力学测试结果表明,与对照组相比,使用双酚 F+ 褪黑激素和双酚 S+ 褪黑激素处理的各组在变形和弹性模量值方面存在显著差异。然而,组织学图像显示各组之间没有明显差异。讨论中指出,同时注射双酚 F 和褪黑素可增加骨硬度,这表明双酚 F 和双酚 S 可减轻褪黑素对骨骼的负面影响。我们认为,组织学上没有差异的原因是研究大鼠的性别为雄性,以及以前接触过褪黑激素。这项研究表明,褪黑素可以减轻双酚 F 和双酚 S 的快速调节作用,增加骨骼弹性。通过仔细调整持续时间、剂量和性别选择,可以观察和改善双酚 F 和双酚 S 的副作用以及褪黑素的预防作用。
