초록

Phenxoy compounds, 2,4-Dichlorophenol acetoxyacid (2,4-D) and 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP), are widely used as a herbicide and intermediate for pesticide manufacturing, respectively. In order to assess the potential of these compounds as endocrine disruptors, we studied the androgenicity of them using in vivo and in vitro assay system.(omitted)
