    Product Description

    Bisphenol A-β-D-glucuronide (BPA-glucuronide) is an inactive metabolite of the plasticizer BPA.1,2 It is formed from BPA primarily by the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) isoform UGT2B15.3 Unlike BPA, BPA-glucuronide does not bind to estrogen receptors (ERs) in cell-free assays or induce ER-mediated transcription in a reporter assay using MCF-7 cells.4 BPA-glucuronide blood levels are lower in patients with Parkinson’s disease compared to individuals without Parkinson's disease with the same blood levels of total BPA, which includes BPA and BPA-glucuronide.5

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
