Synergistic effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin and n-nitrosodiethylamine on cell malignant transformation
2013, Biomedical and Environmental SciencesAn evaluation on combination effects of phenolic endocrine disruptors by estrogen receptor binding assay
2012, Toxicology in VitroCitation Excerpt :In this assay, the target chemicals, especially at high concentrations, will compete with each other binding on the receptor and consequently result in a competitive antagonism. This competitive antagonism has also been reported for a binary mixture of TCDD (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin) and MCDF (6-methyl-1,3,8-trichloro-dibenzofuran) binding on the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) (Merchant et al., 1992). Considering the existence of a vast number of synthetic chemicals in the natural environment, in vitro bioassays are probably the best tool to screen for endocrine disruptors.
