Bisphenol A Alters -hCG and MIF Release by Human Placenta: An In Vitro Study to Understand the Role of Endometrial Cells

Figure 4

Concentration of -hCG in the culture media of explants of chorionic villi exposed to EtOH 0.1% (C), 0.5 nM BPA (BPA), or conditioned medium (diluted 1 : 2) from decidualized stromal cells previously exposed to vehicle (c-C) or to 1 nM BPA (c-BPA). The time course lasted for 24 h (white bars) and 48 h (grey bars). Values were normalized against villous explant total protein content and expressed as percentage ± SD versus C at 24 h of separate experiments (* BPA 48 h versus c-BPA 48 h).
