atrazine and Feminization

atrazine has been researched along with Feminization in 6 studies

Feminization: Development of female secondary SEX CHARACTERISTICS in the MALE. It is due to the effects of estrogenic metabolites of precursors from endogenous or exogenous sources, such as ADRENAL GLANDS or therapeutic drugs.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Atrazine-exposed males were both demasculinized (chemically castrated) and completely feminized as adults."5.36Atrazine induces complete feminization and chemical castration in male African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis). ( Adame, L; Brown, T; Buchholz, D; Chan, E; Gallipeau, S; Hayes, TB; Khoury, V; Narayan, A; Nazir, M; Park, A; Stueve, T, 2010)
" Here, we describe the frequencies at which these malformations occur and compare them with morphologies induced by the estrogen, 17beta-estradiol (E2) , and the antiandrogen cyproterone acetate, as a first step in testing the hypothesis that the effects of atrazine are a combination of demasculinization and feminization."3.73Characterization of atrazine-induced gonadal malformations in African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis) and comparisons with effects of an androgen antagonist (cyproterone acetate) and exogenous estrogen (17beta-estradiol): Support for the demasculinization/f ( Collins, A; Hayes, TB; Johnston, G; Kpodzo, D; Liu, R; Mendoza, M; Noriega, N; Stuart, AA; Vonk, A, 2006)
