Neonatal exposure to the phytoestrogen genistein alters mammary gland growth and developmental programming of hormone receptor levels.

abstract：:Aprotinin caused a dose-dependent inhibition of [125I]hCG binding to its receptor in plasma membranes prepared from luteinized rat ovaries. Displacement of [125I]hCG from its receptor by aprotinin was temperature dependent, with an ID50 of 300 microM at 4 C and an ID50 of 3700 microM at 22 C. Equilibrium binding data ...
