Endocrine disrupting chemicals cause reproductive dysfunction by interacting with intricate regulation and cellular processes involve in spermatogenesis. This study investigated the probable mechanism of action of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (EGEE) as an antiandrogenic compound as well as the effects

Currently, no standardized and well-validated alternative models exist for screening for progesterone-responsive endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Because of this, a rapid assay for evaluating progestin/antiprogestin activity using Xenopus oocyte germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) as a model was evaluated. Five compounds
