According to one study conducted in and 1 442 postmenopausal women were recruited 715 adults aged 20 years or older, exposure to a in this study. Whether bisphenol A exposure was higher bisphenol A level may be associated with a associated with circulating sex hormone higher total testosterone (TEST) level in men and a concentrations was studied. Univariate analysis higher sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) level in revealed that the urinary bisphenol A concentration premenopausal women[9]. Another study in 167 men was negatively correlated with the serum levels of revealed that urinary BPA concentrations are luteinizing hormone (β=-0.061, P0.0001) and negatively associated with the free androgen index follicle-stimulating hormone (β=-0.086, P0.0001) in
