Effect of Chinese Herbs for Shen Invigorating Essence Replenishing on Expression of Restrict Enzymes of Testosterone Biosynthesis and Androgen Receptor of Rats Contaminated with Environmental Endocrine Disruptors
Objective To observe the effect of Chinese herbs for Shen invigorating essence replenishing(CHSIER) on restrict enzymes of testosterone biosynthesis and androgen receptor(AR) expression in testes of rats exposed to di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate(DEHP) andcypermethrin(CYP), and to study its possible mechanism for antagonizing antiandrogen activity of environmental endocrine disruptors( EEDs). Methods Seventy male Sprague-Dawley rats(21 days old) were randomly divided into seven groups(10 in each group), i.e., t...
