Morphologic characteristics of endometriosis in the mouse model: application to toxicology
Abstract
Surgically induced endometriosis in the mouse has been described as a model to investigate the effect of environmental pollutants on the growth of endometriotic implants. The objectives of this study were to evaluate a modified surgical procedure to induce endometriosis and validate the model by comparing the effects of estrogen, 4-chlorodiphenyl ether (4-CDE) as a possible estrogenic contaminant, and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), …
