Bisphenol A affects vipergic nervous structures in the porcine urinary bladder trigone

Abstract Bisphenol A (BPA) is used in the production of plastics approved for contact with feed and food. Upon entering living organisms, BPA, as a potent endocrine disruptor, negatively affects various internal organs and regulatory systems, especially in young individuals. Although previous studie...
