Abstract

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disruptor used in a variety of consumer products. Exposure to BPA leads to alterations in steroidogenesis of ovarian granulosa cells. Here, we analyzed the mechanism by which BPA alters progesterone biosynthesis in immature rat granulosa cells. BPA increased expression of steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR), cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme and 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in granulosa cells; however, BPA prevented the basal and the FSH-induced progesterone production. BPA caused sequestration of cholesterol to the perinuclear area, as evident by the Filipin staining. BPA decreased mRNA expression of ATP binding cassette transporter-A1 (Abca1) and increased level of sterol regulatory element binding protein 1. Addition of exogenous cell-permeable cholesterol restored the effect of BPA on Abca1 and Star mRNA expression and partially reversed BPA's effect on progesterone production. These results indicate that exposure to BPA disrupts cholesterol homeostasis leading to decreased progesterone production in immature rat granulosa cells.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 July 2023.
All research outputs
#4,721,253
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Molecular & Cellular Endocrinology
#327
of 2,950 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#75,642
of 323,499 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Molecular & Cellular Endocrinology
#13
of 45 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 81st percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,950 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 323,499 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 45 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its contemporaries.
