Abstract in brief

The study shows that bisphenol A (BPA), an environmental contaminant that mimics estrogen, can quickly lower blood sugar levels and increase insulin release in mice, affecting pancreatic beta-cell function.
Prolonged exposure to BPA or estrogen (E2) leads to increased insulin content in the pancreas and can cause chronic high insulin levels, which eventually impair glucose and insulin regulation, suggesting a risk for developing insulin resistance.
These findings demonstrate that environmental estrogens like BPA may contribute to metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia by disrupting normal hormone and glucose regulation processes.
