Xenohormones and oral homeostasis : impact on taste preferences and salivary glands
2012
Oral homeostasis strongly influences taste perceptions. It depends on a healthy oral epithelium and salivary gland secretions, which are both regulated by sex hormones. The aim of this thesis was to identify the effect of an oral exposure to Bisphenol A, a food packaging and dental sealer component, and of a soy-diet containing phytoestrogens on oral homeostasisTwo experiments were conducted in adult rats: a dose-response study of BPA (5μg 12.5 mg / kj / day), and a study about the impact of a soy-diet on the BPA disrupting effects. By using gustation choice tests, and histological and qPCR-TR molecular approach, we identify for the first time an action of BPA on dry mouth. We found that BP…

Effects of oral Bisphenol A exposure on sweet preference and on submandibular salivary gland structure in male adult rat
2012
La Revue de Gériatrie; Objectifs: Le Bisphénol A (BPA) est un œstrogéno-mimétique qui entre dans la fabrication de plastiques en polycarbonate et de résines époxy destinés entre autres à l'élaboration d'emballages alimentaires, de matériel médical et d'amalgames dentaires. Pouvant atteindre des taux élevés dans la salive, l'objectif de cette étude était de vérifier l'innocuité du BPA au niveau buccal en recherchant les effets sur les préférences gustatives et sur les glandes saliuaires, deux paramètres sensibles aux œstrogènes. Matériels et Méthodes: Une étude effet-dose a été réalisée sur des rats Wistar adultes répartis en 5 groupes (n=12). Le Bisphénol A a été administré pendant 6 semain…
Elaboration of a list of substances of interest as regards to a potential endocrine activity and prioritisation strategy for assessment
2021
Endocrine Disruptor Chemicals (EDCs) are substances that alter function(s) of the endocrine system and consequently cause adverse health effects. The endocrine system consists of many cells and tissues that interact with each other and the rest of the body by means ofhormones. This system is responsible for controlling a large number of processes in the body from gamete formation, to conception and early developmental processes such as organogenesis, and to most tissue and organ functions throughout life. EDCs interfere withendocrine function by many ways and, in doing so, lead to adverse effects on the health of humans and/or wildlife. Some of the observed health effects associated with ED…
