1 Effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin on hepatic and uterine estrogen receptor levels in rats. Polychlorinated Dibenzodioxins estrogen receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
2 Administration of a single dose of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD, 20 or 80 micrograms/kg) resulted in significantly decreased hepatic and uterine estrogen receptor (ER) levels in 25-day-old female Long-Evans rats. Polychlorinated Dibenzodioxins estrogen receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
3 Administration of a single dose of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD, 20 or 80 micrograms/kg) resulted in significantly decreased hepatic and uterine estrogen receptor (ER) levels in 25-day-old female Long-Evans rats. Polychlorinated Dibenzodioxins estrogen receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
4 Administration of a single dose of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD, 20 or 80 micrograms/kg) resulted in significantly decreased hepatic and uterine estrogen receptor (ER) levels in 25-day-old female Long-Evans rats. Polychlorinated Dibenzodioxins estrogen receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
5 Administration of a single dose of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD, 20 or 80 micrograms/kg) resulted in significantly decreased hepatic and uterine estrogen receptor (ER) levels in 25-day-old female Long-Evans rats. Polychlorinated Dibenzodioxins estrogen receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
6 By contrast, estradiol (5 and 15 micrograms/kg) administration increased hepatic and uterine ER levels, while a combination of 2,3,7,8-TCDD plus estradiol resulted in uterine and hepatic ER levels which were similar or lower than those observed after treatment with only 2,3,7,8-TCDD. Polychlorinated Dibenzodioxins estrogen receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
7 The effects of structure on the activity of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin congeners on their activity to down-regulate hepatic and uterine ER levels were determined by using 2,3,7,8-TCDD, 1,2,3,7,8-pentachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (PeCDD), 1,3,7,8-TCDD, and 1,2,4,7,8-PeCDD. Polychlorinated Dibenzodioxins estrogen receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
8 Both 2,3,7,8-TCDD and 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD exhibit high affinities for the Ah receptor and at dose levels of 80 micrograms/kg the hepatic ER levels were decreased 42 and 41%, respectively, and uterine ER levels were decreased 53 and 49%, respectively. Polychlorinated Dibenzodioxins estrogen receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
9 Both 2,3,7,8-TCDD and 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD exhibit high affinities for the Ah receptor and at dose levels of 80 micrograms/kg the hepatic ER levels were decreased 42 and 41%, respectively, and uterine ER levels were decreased 53 and 49%, respectively. Polychlorinated Dibenzodioxins estrogen receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
10 These results support a role for the Ah receptor in the down-regulation of uterine and hepatic ER levels in the female rat by 2,3,7,8-TCDD and this effect may be associated with the decrease in spontaneous mammary and uterine tumors observed in female rats treated with 2,3,7,8-TCDD. Polychlorinated Dibenzodioxins estrogen receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
11 These results support a role for the Ah receptor in the down-regulation of uterine and hepatic ER levels in the female rat by 2,3,7,8-TCDD and this effect may be associated with the decrease in spontaneous mammary and uterine tumors observed in female rats treated with 2,3,7,8-TCDD.
