ANOVULATORY FOLLICLE DEVELOPMENT IN ADULT ALBINO MICE DUE TO PROLONGED EXPOSURES TO GENISTEIN
Genistein is a soy phytoestrogen that mediates its functions by interacting with the endogenous estrogen receptor β. To investigate the effect of 10mg/kg body weight/ day genistein administration up to 90 days on the ovarian folliculogenesis and its correlation with serum gonadotropins and estrogen, adult Mus musculus were either administered with 1:4 DMSO : PBS (vehicle) or with 10mg genistein/k...
