Description
Muneebah Vaid and coauthors present a 2026 review on skeletal muscle as an overlooked target of bisphenol A, the plastic chemical found in most human samples worldwide. BPA mimics hormones and disrupts endocrine, metabolic, and heart systems. Its effects on reproduction, brain, liver, and fat are well studied, yet muscle, the body's main glucose sink, drew little attention.
Experimental studies surveyed here show BPA altering muscle structure, energy handling, and insulin response in cells and animals. Direct human evidence tying exposure to muscle function remains thin, a gap the authors state openly. The review assembles what exists and argues that muscle outcomes belong in BPA risk assessment, since small metabolic insults in so large a tissue could matter at population scale.
