9171990 Danzo BJ: Environmental xenobiotics may disrupt normal endocrine function by interfering with the binding of physiological ligands to steroid receptors and binding proteins. Environ Health Perspect. 1997 Mar;105(3):294-301.

The gamma- and delta-isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane, congeners of dichlorodiphenyl-trichloroethane (DDT; p,p'-DDT; p,p'-DDE; o,p'-DDT), dieldrin, atrazine, and pentachlorophenol, caused a statistically significant inhibition of specific binding of [3H] 5 alpha-DHT to the androgen receptor that ranged from 100% (p,p'-DDE) to 25% (dieldrin).

The influence of s-triazine compounds (atrazine, prometryne and deethylatrazine) on testosterone conversion and 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone-receptor complex formation was studied in vitro and in vivo in the rat prostate.

20045047 Victor-Costa AB, Bandeira SM, Oliveira AG, Mahecha GA, Oliveira CA: Changes in testicular morphology and steroidogenesis in adult rats exposed to Atrazine. Reprod Toxicol. 2010 Jan 4.

We evaluated the effects of Atrazine (50mg/kg, 200mg/kg and 300mg/kg) in the 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3beta-HSD) expression, plasmatic and testicular estrogen and testosterone levels, androgen receptor expression and morphological changes in adult rat testes.

We also assessed the effect of atrazine on proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)-index and the expression of estrogen receptor (ER)-alpha and -beta and androgen receptor (AR) in induced neoplasms.

After 3 weeks exposure of medaka to 200 ng/L ethynylestradiol (EE2), 200 ng/L estrone (E1), 200 ng/L diethylstilbestrol (DES), 100 microg/L atrazine (AT) and 200 ng/L 17beta-estradiol (E2), transcripts of ERRalpha were significantly decreased to 0.54, 0.56, 0.61, 0.63 and 0.65 of control (p < 0.05) in the testes, respectively.
The DBD of medaka ERRalpha is of the same length and has high sequence identity with those of estrogen receptor (ERalpha and ERbeta) and androgen receptor (ARalpha and ARbeta) of medaka, but much difference was found between the LBD of medaka ERRalpha with those of ERalpha, ERbeta, ARalpha and ARbeta.

Several published reports have indicated that certain chloro-s-triazine herbicides may alter endocrine function in rats, possibly by androgen receptor binding.
In direct tests of estrogenic bioactivity, oral doses of up to 300 mg/kg/d of atrazine, simazine, or the common metabolite diaminochlorotriazine (DACT) did not significantly increase uterine weight of ovariectomized Sprague-Dawley female rats.

The chemicals tested by the Hershberger assay were phthalic acid di-n-hexyl ester, phthalic acid di-n-amyl ester, phthalic acid di-n-propyl ester, diethylstilbestrol, 17beta-estradiol, tamoxifen, 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone, dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane, cyproterone acetate, 6alpha-methyl-17alpha-hydroxy-progesterone, atrazine, and spironolactone.
