 note = {In teleosts, it is well known that plasma calcium levels increase as a result of treatment with estrogen for at least during 2 weeks and that calcitonin secretion is induced by estrogen. The present study examined the influence of bisphenol A on calcium homeostasis in goldfish and compared the above known estrogenic action. In goldfish kept in water containing bisphenol A (10(-6) M), the plasma calcium concentration increased significantly (P<0.001) at 4 days but decreased significantly (P<0.05) at 8 days. By the treatment of bisphenol A, calcitonin secretion was not induced until 4 days. At 8 days, however, plasma calcitonin, as well as calcium, decreased significantly (P<0.05), although vitellogenin was detected in the plasma. Therefore, bisphenol A influences plasma calcium levels, but its action is different from that of estrogen, which indicates that bisphenol A affects the calcium homeostasis and might bring about abnormal conditions in teleosts.},
