The effect of BPA-treated water on the small intestine via an in vivo study

Since the major route of BPA exposure is via the oral route, BPA may have effects on the gastrointestinal tract, especially on the intestinal barrier, where most digestion and absorption processes occur. In this study, the effects of BPA‐treated water on the small intestine (SI) and SI tight junctio...
