Correlation of Bisphenol A in Blood serum with Male Reproductive Hormone in Iraqi infertile men.
Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the world's greatest produced chemicals. BPA is present in various consumer goods that are commonly used in daily life. It was considered an endocrine disruptor and effects on spermatogenesis and male fertility. To assessment the impact of BPA on male reproductive via evaluation the correlation the concentrations of BPA in blood serum with male reproductive hormone. The study was conducted on 28 men recorded at the High Institute for Infertility Diagnosis and Assisted Reproductive Technologies /Al-Nahrain University, private clinic (AL-Zahawi) and Babel Teaching Hospital for Women and Children from January 2022 to April 2022. The blood serum was collected from men. The blood serum samples were assayed the FSH, LH, testosterone and prolactin hormones by mini VIDAS. The residual samples of blood serum were examined BPA concentrations. The measuring of BPA concentration in blood serum by using ELASA Kits. The result of hormones revealed that the correlation between concentrations of BPA and prolactin hormone was slightly positive in blood serum (r = 0.225). There is not detected relationship between BPA and FSH. The BPA concentrations were correlated a negative with testosterone in blood serum (r = - 0.599). Whereas, the LH was correlated slightly positive with blood serum BPA. This study indicated that the BPA in blood serum were highly concentration and there was proof that BPA could effect on male reproductive hormone.
