Abstract
- A study published in Health & Medicine Week explores the effects of bisphenol A (BPA) on the seasonal adaptation of Djungarian hamsters. The researchers found that BPA exposure had sex-specific effects on the hamsters' ability to adapt to different photoperiods. Female hamsters exposed to high levels of BPA showed delayed body weight loss and reduced feed efficiency, while male hamsters exposed to low levels of BPA exhibited accelerated metabolic changes. These findings highlight the importance of studying the impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals on non-conventional animal models and provide insights into wildlife physiology. Please note that this study has not yet undergone peer review. [Extracted from the article]
