Continuous Exposure to 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-P-Dioxin Inhibits the Growth of Surgically Induced Endometriosis in the Ovariectomized Mouse Treated with high Dose Estradiol
Abstract
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of repeated injection of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) on the growth of endometriosis and the formation of adhesions in the mouse. Sexually mature female B6C3F1 mice (n = 19) were ovariectomized and subcutaneously implanted with a silastic capsule containing estradiol (E2). Uterine tissues in full thickness (I x I mm2, 5 pieces) from the left uterine horn were surgically …
