Potency of combined estrogenic pesticides: Synergy between synthetic oestrogens? Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • These studies each show that certain binary mixtures of weak, environmental estrogens act additively. The results were obtained by testing mixtures of these compounds in a variety of estrogen assays. These studies were prompted by a now retracted report that such binary mixtures act synergistically, not simply additively. The structures of the compounds used in these studies are shown below.
