Evaluation of chemicals with endocrine modulating activity in a yeast-based steroid hormone receptor gene transcription assay.
- K. Gaido, L. Leonard, +4 authors D. McDonnell
- Biology, Medicine
- Toxicology and applied pharmacology
- 1 March 1997
There is a concern that chemicals in our environment are affecting human health by disrupting normal endocrine function. Much of the concern has focused on chemicals that can interact directly with… Expand
Effects of treatment-induced mortality and tumor-induced mortality on tests for carcinogenicity in small samples.
- A. J. Bailer, C. Portier
- Medicine
- Biometrics

Compound Cytotoxicity Profiling Using Quantitative High-Throughput Screening
- M. Xia, R. Huang, +9 authors C. Austin
- Biology, Medicine
- Environmental health perspectives
- 22 November 2007
Background The propensity of compounds to produce adverse health effects in humans is generally evaluated using animal-based test methods. Such methods can be relatively expensive, low-throughput,… Expand
Characterization of the dose-response of CYP1B1, CYP1A1, and CYP1A2 in the liver of female Sprague-Dawley rats following chronic exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.

- 1 February 1999
One of the current knowledge gaps in the evaluation of risk for human exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is the relationship between gene expression induced by TCDDmore complex… Expand
Dose-Additive Carcinogenicity of a Defined Mixture of “Dioxin-like Compounds”
- N. Walker, P. Crockett, +10 authors C. Portier
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Environmental health perspectives
- 19 October 2004
Use of the dioxin toxic equivalency factor (TEF) approach in human risk assessments assumes that the combined effects of dioxin-like compounds in a mixture can be predicted based on a… Expand
