aLowest observed effective concentration (LOEC in μM), which is defined as the lowest concentration statistically significant different (p < 0.05) from the solvent control average.
bMaximum fold change (up or down) of the average response observed at any concentration significantly different from the average solvent control level.
cEquivocal results.
dNE: no effect observed at the highest noncytotoxic concentration tested.
eEstradiol levels were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay according to the manufacturer's protocol.
