Alteration in sexually dimorphic testosterone biotransformation profiles as a biomarker of chemically induced androgen disruption in mice
Article Abstract:
Researchers studied the effects of shifting testosterone levels on assessments of the impact of environmental chemicals on androgen homeostasis. Changes in the testosterone biotransformation process can be used to indicate activation of androgen-disrupting chemicals and to measure androgen homeostasis.

Developmental synergism of steroidal estrogens in sex determination
Article Abstract:
This study examines the affect of steroidal estrogens in determining the sex of red-eared spider turtles. The data suggests that weak environmental estrogens may synergize with stronger natural estrogens.
