[ 1 ] - Diazinon interrupts ovarian steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) gene transcription in gonadotropin-stimulated rat model

Organophosphate pesticides are considered as endocrine disruptors that interfere with reproductive functions. The corpus luteum (CL) is a transient endocrine gland that produces progesterone, a crucial hormone for a successful beginning and maintenance of pregnancy. Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) facilitates the rate-limiting transfer of cholesterol from the outer mitochondrial m...
