Among these, bisphenol A (BPA) is the most studied. Regulatory measures, such as the ban on BPA use in baby bottles by the European Union and its restricted use in thermal paper, reflect the growing awareness of the health risks of BPA. To mitigate these risks, analogs such as bisphenol S (BPS), bisphenol F (BPF), and others (BPAF, BPAP, BPB, BPP, BPZ) have been developed as alternatives. Despite their intended safety, these analogs have been detected in environmental media, including indoor dust and thermal receipt paper, as well as in human biological samples. Studies report their presence in urine at levels comparable to BPA, with BPS and BPF found in 78% and 55% of samples, respectively. In addition, BPs have been found in human follicular fluid (FF) at concentrations that could exert some paracrine effects on ovarian function and reproductive health. With the increased global production of BPs, occupational exposure and environmental contamination also increase. This review summarizes what is currently known about the effects of BPs on the ovary and the mechanisms by which PBs exert ovarian toxicity, with a particular focus on oogenesis, folliculogenesis, and steroidogenesis. Further, this review emphasizes their influence on reproductive functions and the need for further biosafety evaluations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/toxics13030164","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,26]],"date-time":"2025-02-26T04:46:37Z","timestamp":1740545197000},"page":"164","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["The Ovary as a Target Organ for New Generation Bisphenols Toxicity"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-3281-9670","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paulina","family":"G\u0142\u00f3d","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Physiology and Toxicology of Reproduction, Institute of Zoology and Biomedical Research, Faculty of Biology, Jagiellonian University, Gronostajowa 9, PL30387 Cracow, Poland"},{"name":"Doctoral School of Exact and Natural Sciences, Jagiellonian University, Prof. St. \u0141ojasiewicza St 11, PL30348 Cracow, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joanna","family":"Smoleniec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Physiology and Toxicology of Reproduction, Institute of Zoology and Biomedical Research, Faculty of Biology, Jagiellonian University, Gronostajowa 9, PL30387 Cracow, Poland"},{"name":"Doctoral School of Exact and Natural Sciences, Jagiellonian University, Prof. St. \u0141ojasiewicza St 11, PL30348 Cracow, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weronika","family":"Marynowicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Physiology and Toxicology of Reproduction, Institute of Zoology and Biomedical Research, Faculty of Biology, Jagiellonian University, Gronostajowa 9, PL30387 Cracow, Poland"},{"name":"Doctoral School of Exact and Natural Sciences, Jagiellonian University, Prof. St. \u0141ojasiewicza St 11, PL30348 Cracow, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Justyna","family":"Gogola-Mruk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Physiology and Toxicology of Reproduction, Institute of Zoology and Biomedical Research, Faculty of Biology, Jagiellonian University, Gronostajowa 9, PL30387 Cracow, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3634-1918","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Ptak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Physiology and Toxicology of Reproduction, Institute of Zoology and Biomedical Research, Faculty of Biology, Jagiellonian University, Gronostajowa 9, PL30387 Cracow, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2024, October 15).
