Effects of BPA on Insulin and Glucose Responses

Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Environmental Exposure

In brief

The National Institutes of Health has encouraged research examining effects of BPA, yet evidence in humans evaluating the effects of BPA on insulin and glucose concentrations remains exclusively associative in nature. Thus, the primary purpose of this study is to determine whether an acute oral ingestion of BPA impacts insulin and glucose concentrations, and other endocrine factors (Pro-insulin, C-Peptide, Estrogen, triglycerides). Findings from this pilot study will inform public health recommendations for food packaging and provide much needed experimental evidence as to whether BPA poses any public health risk.
