Bisphenol A intakes included values estimated for males <strong>and</strong> females during prebreeding or gestati<strong>on</strong>; intake values for <strong>the</strong> appropriate<br />

sex were used in benchmark dose analyses; intakes during gestati<strong>on</strong> were used for females.<br />

c<br />

The effect was reported at earlier time period but is shown here <strong>on</strong>ly for <strong>the</strong> latest or l<strong>on</strong>gest time period evaluated.<br />

d<br />

Benchmark doses were estimated using <strong>the</strong> polynomial model.<br />

e<br />

Only effects <strong>on</strong> relative organ weights were shown.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> cross-over trial (Task 3), B20 males <strong>and</strong> females<br />

from <strong>the</strong> high-dose group were r<strong>and</strong>omly paired with<br />

c<strong>on</strong>trol mice for 7 days in order to determine <strong>the</strong> affected<br />

sex. Twenty c<strong>on</strong>trol males <strong>and</strong> females were also paired.<br />

The animals were not exposed to bisphenol A during <strong>the</strong><br />

1-week mating period, but in animals from <strong>the</strong> high-dose<br />

group, dosing with bisphenol A was c<strong>on</strong>tinued for 21<br />

days <strong>on</strong> separati<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> mating pairs. Vaginal smears<br />

were obtained from females that did not mate or did not<br />

appear to be pregnant. Fertility <strong>and</strong> offspring survival<br />

were determined. Parental mice from <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong>trol (n 5 38/<br />

sex) <strong>and</strong> high-dose groups (n 5 19/sex) were necropsied<br />

within a week following completi<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> cross-over<br />

trial. Body, liver, kidney, <strong>and</strong> reproductive organ weights<br />

were obtained, <strong>and</strong> sperm count, morphology, <strong>and</strong><br />

motility were determined. Testes, ovaries, <strong>and</strong> oviducts<br />

were fixed in Bouin soluti<strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong> prostate, seminal<br />

vesicles/coagulating gl<strong>and</strong>s, uterus, liver, <strong>and</strong> kidney<br />

were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin for<br />

histopathological evaluati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

In Task 4 of <strong>the</strong> study, 20 F 1 mice/sex/group (at least<br />

2/sex from 10 r<strong>and</strong>omly selected litters/group) were<br />

mated within dose groups for 7 days <strong>and</strong> examined for<br />

reproductive functi<strong>on</strong>. Because fewer F 1 mice in highdose<br />

group were available as a result of increased<br />

mortality, <strong>on</strong>ly 11 mice/sex were mated. The animals<br />

c<strong>on</strong>tinued to receive <strong>the</strong> same diet given to <strong>the</strong>ir parents.<br />

Vaginal smears were obtained from females that did not<br />

mate or did not appear to become pregnant. One litter/<br />

pair was examined for sex, body weight, <strong>and</strong> viability.<br />

The parental F 1 animals from all dose group were killed<br />

<strong>and</strong> examined as described for Task 3 of <strong>the</strong> study.<br />

Treatment-related effects observed in adult rats are<br />

summarized in Table 95, <strong>and</strong> effects occurring in<br />

immature rats are summarized in Table 96. Bisphenol A<br />

treatment had no effect <strong>on</strong> mating or fertility index in F0<br />

or F1 mice. Postpartum body weights were reduced in F0<br />

dams of <strong>the</strong> high-dose group. In F 0 mice, <strong>the</strong> number of<br />

litters produced/pair <strong>and</strong> numbers of live F 1 pups/litter<br />

were reduced at <strong>the</strong> mid- <strong>and</strong> high-dose level. A decrease<br />

in <strong>the</strong> proporti<strong>on</strong> of pups born alive occurred in F0 mice<br />

of <strong>the</strong> high-dose group. No effects were observed <strong>on</strong> sex<br />

ratios of F1 or F2 pups. Weights of live F1 pups were<br />

increased at <strong>the</strong> mid <strong>and</strong> high-dose. There were no<br />

significant effects when pup weights were adjusted for<br />

total numbers of live <strong>and</strong> dead pups in <strong>the</strong> litter.<br />
