BPA exposure induces sex-specific changes in gene expression, progressing toward a hypometabolic cancer-like state in females and a hypermetabolic autoimmunity-like state in males, with a blood metabolic profile that significantly overlaps with human MetS in a cross-sectional study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conclude that developmental low-dose BPA exposure might induce metabolic syndrome specifically in males, possibly by affecting T cell activity in a sex-specific manner.
