| Abstract | We have investigated the effects of several phenols (octylphenol [OP], nonylphenol [NP], tert-octylphenol [tOP]) and phthalates (dioctylphthalate [DOP], diisodecylphthalate [DiDP], diisononylphthalate [DiNP]) on steroid hormone production by porcine ovarian granulosa cells after a 72-hour incubation. These chemicals are widely used as plasticisers and are suspected to possess endocrine disrupting properties. No changes were exhibited in basal progesterone production after treatment with NP or tOP, or with the tested phthalates. However, OP tended to decrease progesterone levels, while DOP and DiDP, at the lowest concentration used (10(-8)M), increased progesterone levels in the culture media. Neither of the tested phenols affected follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)-stimulated progesterone production, except for OP and NP at 10(-4)M, which decreased progesterone levels. The phthalates, tested at higher concentrations, were able to amplify FSH-stimulated progesterone release into the culture medium. An inhibitory action on oestradiol production by porcine granulosa cells was observed after the treatment with both groups of test chemicals. The results obtained in the experiments on primary granulosa cell cultures indicate that ovarian steroidogenesis might be one of the possible sites affected by the endocrine disrupting actions of phenols and phthalates. |
