Effects of azole fungicides on the function of sex and thyroid hormones
Figure 5 - Estrogenic effects of the four fungicides: epoxiconazole, prochloraz, propiconazole, and tebuconazole tested in the MCF-7 cell proliferation assay. Epoxiconazole and propiconazole induced proliferation of the MCF-7 cells. Data represent mean±SD for three to seven independent experiments. The horizontal gray line represents the control level and the dashed gray lines represent the SD of the control. * Statistically significantly different from control (p<0.05). c = tested cytotoxic by a LDH-test. RPE = Relative Proliferative Effect.
