The effect of raloxifene on the uterine weight response in immature mice exposed to 17beta-estradiol, 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane, and methoxychlor

Article Abstract:

Pesticides that mimic the action of estrogen appear to act by a different mechanism than 17beta-estradiol. This was demonstrated in a mouse model in which raloxifene blocked the action of estrogen-like pesticides on the uterus but not the action of 17beta-estradiol.
