Abstract excerpt
Estrogen administration to rodents results in various types of DNA damage and ultimately leads to tumors in estrogen-responsive tissues. Yet these hormones have been classified as nonmutagenic, because they did not induce mutations in classical bacterial and mammalian mutation assays. In this review, we have discussed the induction by estrogens of DNA and chromosomal damage and of gene mutations, because the...
