Alterations in circulating ovarian steroids in hexachlorobenzene-exposed monkeys
Abstract
Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is a global pollutant that has been identified in human serum and ovarian follicular fluid, and its effect on ovarian function has not been adequately defined. Thus, the effects of HCB on ovarian steroidogenesis and menstrual cycle characteristics were investigated in cynomolgus monkeys (n = 16) orally dosed by gelatin capsule (0.0, 0.1, 1.0, and 10.0 mg HCB/kg b.wt./d) for 90 d (approximately three menstrual cycles). …
