Subchronic Exposure to 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin Modulates the Pathophysiology of Endometriosis in the Cynomolgus Monkey
Abstract
An increase in the incidence and severity of endometriosis following treatment with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) was a serendipitous finding in a reproductive toxicology study in rhesus monkeys.
