Meeker quoted on CNN

Project 3 Leader John Meeker (U. of Michigan) was recently quoted in a CNN article on the effect of BPA on the masculinity of male mice.  The study determined that female mice found BPA-exposed male mice to be less attractive, even though their adult hormone levels were no different than male mice who were not exposed.

Says Dr. Meeker:

“In a human study, we often depend on an outcome like hormone levels…It’s possible that BPA could be impacting reproduction in a way that wouldn’t be picked up in our typical way of studying things. [This study] may inform how we go about studying those things in the future.”
