“…This disagreement for chlordane was also reported previously by Aït-Aïssa et al [34]. For chemicals showing AR antagonism in MDA cells but inactive in CHO cells, all were non-steroids (phenanthrene, pirimiphosmethyl, chlorpropham, metolachlor, pretilachlor) [2,4,28,34,55]. Chemicals like diethyl phthalate, aldrin and γ-lindane having IC 50 values at concentrations of 60 -80 μM in MDA cells were negative in CHO cells [4,28,40] where the cut-off for positive results was set at 10 μM.…”
