TL;DR: After controlling for additional heavy metal exposure, the associations between lead and testosterone as well as cadmium and SHBG remained significant.

TL;DR: Flunitrazepam, a benzodiazepine which binds to mitochondrial benzodiazine receptors, with high nanomolar affinity, inhibited the stimulatory action of DBI on the formation of mitochondrial pregnenolone, indicating that DBI exerts its stimulatory effects through an action on mitochondrial benzdiazepine receptors.

TL;DR: The results indicate the biosynthetic enzymes 17β-HSD and 5α-reductase to be present in ovaries and pyloric caeca of Asterias rubens; the presence of an aromatization enzyme complex could not be demonstrated.

TL;DR: The male pubertal onset assay has been recommended by the Endocrine Disrupter Screening and Testing Advisory Committee as an alternate Tier I screening assay to detect potential endocrine-active chemicals (EACs) and its ability to detect steroid biosynthesis inhibitors remains in question.
