Introduction 1. Normal mammary gland 1.1 normal mammary gland anatomies The normal breast sits on the chest muscle, consisting mainly of adipose tissue, also known as mammary fat pad. The mature mammary gland is composed of 15-20 lobes, which are each composed of smaller structure called lobules. Tiny Lactiferous ducts connect lobules to each other. (Fig. 1b) (Schneider and Bocker). A typical structure of duct is composed of a hollow lumen, enclosed by a layer of epithelial luminal cells that produce

2.3 Adverse effects 2.3.1 Obesity Several studies indicate that there is an association between urinary BPA levels and increased body mass in children and adolescents. In a cross-sectional analysis , a nationally representative subsample of 2838 participants aged from 6 to 19 year old were randomly selected, and their urinary BPA concentration and body mass index (BMI) were measured. They found that the urinary BPA concentration were significantly associated with obesity in participants, while obesity
