Unexpected blockade of adipocyte differentiation by K-7174: implication for endoplasmic reticulum stress.

abstract：:Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) represent a large class of chemicals present in environment. We have used yeast strain ER(wt) expressing human estrogen receptor (hER) and an estrogen-sensitive reporter to characterize the estrogenic or anti-estrogenic activities of 21 PAHs. The PAHs did not exhibit estrogenic ...
