Özet

Bisphenol A (BPA) has negative impact on human health. This study aims to explore the association between the levels of BPA and 25(OH) vitamin D in breastmilk. BPA exposure and vitamin D sources were recorded on the study form. Breastmilk 25(OH) vitamin D was measured by the competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method, and BPA was analyzed by fluorescence detector high pressure liquid chromatography technique. Multiple logistic regression analysis were performed for association. Among 70 lactating mothers, the median 25(OH) vitamin D level was 12.6 ng/mL. In 92.9% of breastmilk samples, detectable levels of BPA were found, with a median BPA concentration of 2.56 ng/mL. However, both univariate and multivariate analyses failed to reveal any association between breastmilk BPA and 25(OH) vitamin D levels. This lack of association in healthy lactating mothers, highlighting the need for further research to comprehensively understand the intricate dynamics of these factors.
