An ultrasound study of the effect of chronic lead exposure on endometrial cycle changes in the female cynomolgus monkey

Abstract

The effect of up to 10 years of lead (Pb) exposure (1500 micrograms/kg BW/day) on endometrial cycle changes in adult cynomolgus monkeys (n = 30) were examined by real-time ultrasound. Pb exposure had no effect on peak serum estradiol (E2) or progesterone (P4) concentrations, menstrual cycle length, and endometrial response to gonadal steroids as determined by ultrasound.
