DURHAM, N.C., USA: A new study has found that bisphenol A (BPA), a widely used industrial chemical found in hard-plastic bottles and dental resins, affects the development of the central nervous system by disrupting regulation of gene expression. The researchers thus believe that BPA may predispose the development of certain neuro developmental disorders.

 

In a recent study from Germany, Bisphenol A (BPA), a compound present in various dental fillings, has a reverse calcium channel blocking effect. The latter is similar to effects induced by medications such as some antihypertensive drugs and others treating cardiac arrhythmia.
