Abstract

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a commonly used substance in epoxy resins and plastics. It has been suggested that under certain environmental factors, BPA can leach out of the products. BPA has been shown to be an endocrine disruptor that binds to estrogen receptors and can influence bodily functions. Recent studies highlighted the influence of BPA exposure to the development and progression of certain autoimmune diseases including MS, T1DM, and thyroid autoimmunity. Autoimmune disease results from the loss of tolerance to self-tissues. The multifactorial etiopathogenesis of autoimmune diseases points toward the pivotal role of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. In this factor, we explore the effect of BPA on certain autoimmune conditions.
