The Role of Uron and Chlorobenzene Derivatives, as Potential Endocrine Disrupting Compounds, in the Secretion of ACTH and PRL

Figure 2

Functional assay for ACTH release in rat prolactinoma cultures (PRLOMA), in vitro ( in each group); mean level ± SEM (pg ACTH/mg protein): compared with normal AdH cells (Figure 1). ACTH release always shows a similarly significant () increase in PRLOMA cells (basal: control; AVP: 8-arginine vasopressin; B: corticosterone).
