Alone no pesticides affected the ERbeta mRNA level significantly, but chlorpyrifos increased the mRNA level weakly.

In addition, chlorpyrifos, deltamethrin, tolclofos-methyl, and tribenuron-methyl induced weak responses in one or both estrogenicity assays.
Twenty-four pesticides were tested for interactions with the estrogen receptor (ER) and the androgen receptor (AR) in transactivation assays.

Two organochlorine pesticides (methoxychlor and chlorpyrifos) were tested for their effects on GnRH gene expression and biosynthesis in the immortalized hypothalamic GT1-7 cells, which synthesize and secrete GnRH.
In order to examine whether these pesticides affect GnRH biosynthesis through the estrogen receptor (ER), in other experiments their effects were compared to those of estrogen, or they were co-administered with the ER antagonist, ICI 182,780 (ICI).

Several pesticides did not have any effect on the proliferation response after 6 days of exposure, including: chlorpyrifos, diuron, iprodion, linuron, pentachlorphenol, prochloraz, propioconazol, propyzamine, quintozen, tetrachorvinphos and tetradifon.
