Protective and Detoxifying Effects of Myrtus communis Essential Oil Against Bisphenol A-Induced Metabolic Disturbances in Wistar Rats.
Article in BioMed research international, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disruptor widely used in industrial and consumer products. Its release into the environment raises major health concerns, particularly regarding metabolic disorders. After exposure, BPA leads to the accumulation of free BPA and its main metabolites, including bisphenol A-glucuronide (BPA-G), bisphenol A-disulfate (BPA-DS), and its chlorinated derivative, chlorinated bisphenol A-diglucuronide (BPA-DC). This study is aimed at evaluating the detoxifying effect of essential oil of Myrtus communis (EOMC) at 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg, and vitamin E (100 mg/kg), in male Wistar rats exposed to BPA (100 mg/kg). Results showed a significant decrease in serum levels of BPA and its metabolites, along with increased urinary excretion, indicating enhanced biotransformation and elimination. BPA exposure also elevated fecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) acetate, propionate, and butyrate, suggesting microbial dysbiosis and altered fermentation. EOMC and vitamin E treatments normalized SCFA profiles, demonstrating a modulatory effect on gut microbiota. The detection of α-pinene and 1,8-cineole in serum confirmed systemic bioavailability of EOMC and its role in detoxification. Overall, these findings highlight the protective effect of EOMC and vitamin E against BPA bioaccumulation and support their potential as natural detoxifying agents.
