However, there is a need for addressing their safety in in vivo studies based on the observed negative impact of bisphenol A. Bisphenol AP (BPAP) is frequently found in the environment, human food, and biological fluids, but its cardiovascular effects have not yet been tested. For this reason, we administered BPAP in a daily single dose of 2.5 mg.kg$^{-12}$ via oral gavage to eight male Wistar Han rats for a period of 4 weeks. Eight control rats received the solvent, sesame oil. Parent BPAP was detectable in plasma only in 3 animals by a validated LC-MS/MS method, whereas its glucuronide was found in all animals (48.4 ± 25.4 nM). Arterial blood pressure did not change during or at the end of the treatment. Some disturbances in cardiac rhythm were observed (e.g., increased heart rate, prolonged P wave and QT$_{peak}$ interval, p < 0.05), but there was no increase in serum cardiac troponin T. Vessels isolated from BPAP-treated animals showed impaired vasodilatory response compared to control animals (p < 0.05). BPAP impacted coagulation and caused hemolysis only in hundreds of µM concentrations. These results demonstrate the potential of BPAP to affect cardiac rhythm and impair vessel homeostasis after subacute exposure.20252025-11-13 11:26:55Članek v reviji175900UDK: 612.43:620.266.1ISSN pri članku: 0147-6513DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2025.119143COBISS_ID: 251567875sl
