11226075 Crellin NK, Kang HG, Swan CL, Chedrese PJ: Inhibition of basal and stimulated progesterone synthesis by dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene and methoxychlor in a stable pig granulosa cell line. Reproduction. 2001 Mar;121(3):485-92.

The studies of DDE and methoxychlor were conducted in combination with studies of cholera toxin, the protein kinase A activator that stimulates cAMP and progesterone synthesis and gene expression of P450 cholesterol side chain cleavage (P450scc), which converts cholesterol to pregnenolone.

Steady-state levels of the mRNAs encoding steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR), P450 side-chain cleavage (P450scc), 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (3beta-HSD), and P450 aromatase (P450arom) were examined using real-time PCR.
