Endocrine disruptors like BPAs and BPSs can impact estrogen and androgen pathways, potentially activating or blocking genes involved in cell function and expression.

“likewise bpas the bisphenol A and BPS are known endocrine disruptors I talked about this a little bit earlier they're known to bind estrogen receptors so they mimic estrogen sometimes they activate those estrogen receptor dependent Pathways so they literally mimic estrogen sometimes they block those estrogen receptors so the estrogen cannot have the normal role of docking in those receptors and causing their normal functions and BPA and to some extent BPS and potentially phalates can dock to Androgen receptors as well sometimes referred to as testosterone receptors Androgen receptors”

“BPA and bps's mimic estrogen and combine to estrogen receptors and potentially to Androgen receptors as well”

“when we talk about these molecules like bpas and BPS is impacting these Pathways like estrogen and androgen Pathways this is serious stuff because what you're doing is you're potentially activating or blocking Pathways that are involved not just in the function of those cells but actually the genes that those particular cells Express”

“so let's start with BPA and BPS which are classified as endocrine disrupting chemicals because they can mimic the body's natural hormones specifically they act as xenoestrogens these are foreign compounds that imitate estrogen by binding to estrogen receptors when BPA or BPS binds to these receptors they can either activate or block normal estrogen activity this miscommunication leads to abnormal hormone signaling affecting reproductive Health brain development and so much more”
