Cytotoxic Effects of Bisphenol A as an Endocrine Disruptor on Human Lymphocytes

Abstract

Methods: 0.1 mL heparinized 0.2 mL peripheral blood taken from a healthy male and a female were plated in culture media under sterile conditions. To prepare the reference dose at a concentration of 0.05 mg/mL, 0.027g BPA was dissolved in 1 L dimethyl sulfoxide and the highest dose of 50 μg/mL BPA solution was prepared. After separating the stock solution, 50 μg/mL BPA was diluted to prepare 20, 10 or 5 μg/mL doses.
