It was concluded that methoxychlor undergoes a hepatic microsomal monooxygenase (s)-mediated activation and that the resultant reactive metabolites (possibly free radicals) bind covalently to microsomal components.

To further investigate the mechanisms of aromatase induction we measured CYP19 mRNA expression and showed that methoxychlor, aldrin, chlordane and tributyltin induced the transcription of the cyp19 gene.

To examine these properties, we utilized an assay developed by us that monitors whether a given compound, incubated with isolated rat uteri, can diminish the uterine cytosolic estrogen receptor and elevate the nuclear estrogen receptor and whether metabolic intervention by hepatic microsomal monooxygenase (s) is required by the respective compound for this cellular redistribution of the receptor.
