Effects of PCB 126 and PCB 153 on secretion of steroid hormones and mRNA expression of steroidogenic genes (STAR, HSD3B, CYP19A1) and estrogen receptors (ERα, ERβ) in prehierarchical chicken ovarian follicles
文摘
PCB 126 and PCB 153 affect steroid secretion by prehierarchical (PF) chicken ovarian follicles. Both PCBs influence STAR, HSD3B, CYP19A1, ERα and ERβ mRNA expression. PCBs may impair development and selection of PF follicles to preovulatory hierarchy.
