abstract：:17beta-estradiol (E2), estrone and diethylstilbestrol (DES) had no effect on nuclear and nucleolar RNA synthesis in vitro. However, after reacting with dimethyldioxirane (DMDO), a versatile epoxide-forming oxidant, these estrogens were able to inhibit and in a dose-dependent manner nuclear and nucleolar RNA synthesis ...
