Comparison of In Vitro Endocrine Activity of Phthalates and Alternative Plasticizers

Figure 5

Androgenic activity of phthalates and substitutes in MDA-kb2 cells. MDA-kb2 cells were exposed for 20–24 h to different concentrations of DEHP, DINP, DEHT, DINCH, TOTM, POLYSORB® isosorbide, or POLYSORB® ID 46. Results represent the mean relative luciferase activity compared to DHT 10–8 M (=100%) ±SD of 3 replicates from one representative assay out of 2 assays.
