(Medical Xpress) -- A University at Albany-led research team has identified a link between exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), a molecular component of plastics and resins used in baby bottles and the linings of canned foods, and a reduction in the peak estrogen concentrations among women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF). The reduced estrogen concentrations could adversely influence the quality of egg-containing follicles.
