14973267 Borgeest C, Miller KP, Gupta R, Greenfeld C, Hruska KS, Hoyer P, Flaws JA: Methoxychlor-induced atresia in the mouse involves Bcl-2 family members, but not gonadotropins or estradiol. Biol Reprod. 2004 Jun;70(6):1828-35. Epub 2004 Feb 18.

Because Bcl-2 (an antiapoptotic factor), Bax (a proapoptotic factor), gonadotropins, and estradiol are important regulators of atresia in the ovary, the purpose of this study was first to examine whether MXC-induced atresia occurred through alterations in Bcl-2 or Bax, and second, to examine the effect of MXC on gonadotropins, estradiol, and their receptors.

Expression of bcl-2 was significantly increased in MXC- and HPTE-treated cells, while bax was decreased in MXC- and HPTE-treated cells compared to controls.
