As BPA is classified among xenoestrogens, we compared its action and effects with those of 17β-estradiol (E2).Methods: Chemotaxis of neutrophils was examined using the Boyden chamber. Their phagocytosis and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen (NADPH) oxidase activity were assessed via Park’s method with latex beads and Park’s test with nitrob… Show more
