"It is a fundamental part of endocrinology, and it is beautifully demonstrated [in these papers], that stimulation at [the cerebellar] cell surface receptor is able to cause effects at doses below a part per trillion," says Frederick vom Saal, a professor of biology at the University of Missouri Columbia.
During the session, Frederick vom Saal, a professor of biological sciences at the University of Missouri Columbia, described a link between bisphenol A and obesity.
Papers coated with BPS may contain up to 40% more compound than comparable papers coated with BPA, perhaps because BPS is a weaker developer than BPA, according to Frederick vom Saal, a biologist at the University of Missouri-Columbia's Endocrine Disruptors Group.
Frederick vom Saal, a toxicologist at the University of Missouri-Columbia and also a member of the National Academy of Science endocrine disrupter panel, has gotten tremendous play from a study that tested a mere seven mice for each of various doses of two chemicals.
That can cause a trace metal called antimony to leach out, said Frederick S. vom Saal, a professor of biology at the University of Missouri who has studied plastics for years.
Yet more than 40 studies have found health effects in rodents fed as little as 0.2 micrograms per kilogram of body weight, according to Frederick S. vom Saal, a reproductive endocrinologist at the University of Missouri, Columbia, and a leading BPA researcher.
The new work started when another member of the research team, Alberto E. Saal, a professor of geological sciences at Brown University, handed a vial of Moon dirt to Thomas Weinreich, a Brown freshman, and asked him to sift through it for interesting particles.
After taking in the art, grab a glass of crémant at Mogg & Melzer, an intimate modern deli on the ground floor, or a bourbon sour at the Pauly Saal Bar, a stylish space with emerald green walls and a glossy wood bar.
Frederick vom Saal, a biology professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia and one of the leading BPA researchers in the country, would go even further.
Ten years ago, Dr. Frederick vom Saal, a reproductive scientist at the University of Missouri, discovered mice were being damaged by doses of BPA that were 25,000 times below what the government considered safe.
Frederick vom Saal, a reproductive scientist at University of Missouri-Columbia who studies BPA, said the new report was "very, very much in line" with a consensus statement signed by 38 scientists last year that said the chemical could be harming babies' brains and reproductive tracts.
