  1. Canonical pathways, diseases/disorders, biological functions, and upstream regulators significantly associated with DEGs in the hippocampus of offspring rats prenatally exposed to BPA were predicted using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) software. Results are shown for the separate analyses of the combined group of males and females, males only, and females only. P-values were calculated using Fisher’s exact test. P-value < 0.05 is considered as significant. A range of P-values are shown for the various subcategories of diseases/disorders or biological functions under a general category, such as cancer or lipid metabolism.
