Abstract

This study investigated expression pattern of PHGPx gene in male rat reproductive organs exposed to 17$\beta$-estradiol. First, in view of quantitative change, the exposure to 17$\beta$-estradiol for 1 week increased PHGPx mRNA level in testis and prostate. PHGPx mRNA level in epididymis decreased weakly as compared to control group.(omitted)
