Analysis of the sensitivity of in vitro bioassays for androgenic, progestagenic, glucocorticoid, thyroid and estrogenic activity: Suitability for drinking and environmental waters
文摘
Reviewed suitability of in vitro assays to detect endocrine activity in water Included androgenic, progestagenic, glucocorticoid, thyroid and estrogenic activity Some assays are sensitive enough to detect activity in most environmental waters. Others appear not sensitive enough to detect activity even in polluted samples. Findings provide guidance on bioassay selection and required sample enrichment.
