Embryonic exposure to the widely-used herbicide atrazine disrupts meiosis and normal follicle formation in female mice
8 Jun 2017
Abstract excerpt
The widely-used herbicide atrazine (ATZ) is detected in ground and surface water in many countries. Several studies in animals have demonstrated that ATZ has endocrine-disrupting effects on male and female reproduction in many vertebrate species. In this study, we investigated the effects of ATZ exposure on meiosis, a key step in gametogenesis in mammals. The treatment was initiated before oocyte entry into...
