Modulation of aromatase activity and mRNA by various selected pesticides in the human choriocarcinoma JEG-3 cell line.

abstract：:An experimental approach was taken to the question of dose-response curves for chemical carcinogenesis, using DNA damage as a biomarker. Female rats were give 13 different doses of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (from 1.4 to 135,000 micrograms/kg) and the subsequent hepatic DNA damage was determined by the alkaline elution tec...
