Effect of TCDD exposure on the expression of Bcl2 and Bax transcript levels. To determine whether TCDD exposure impairs expression of genes responsible for apoptosis, follicles were collected at the end of the culture period and subjected to measurements of transcripts for the anti-apoptotic factor Bcl2 (A) and the proapoptotic factor Bax (B). Levels of Bcl2 and Bax were normalized to β-actin (Actb). Data are expressed as mean relative expression ratios ±SEM calculated from 3 to 4 separate culture experiments.
