Bisphenol A (BPA) has been investigated for its potential carcinogenic activity for prostate. Studies have shown that indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and genistein (GEN) can activate antiproliferative and proapoptotic signaling pathways. The aim of this study was evaluate the influence of I3C (20 mg/kg) and GEN (5 mg/kg) on the development of prostate of offspring rats exposed during gestation and lactation to BPA (10 mg/kg). Pregnant female Sprague–Dawley rats were divided into ...
