Protective effects of 17β-estradiol on Benzo(e)pyrene[B(e)P]-induced toxicity in ARPE-19 cells

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of 17β-estradiol on Benzo(e)pyrene [B(e)P]-induced toxicity in ARPE-19 cells. Methods: We pretreated ARPE-19 cells with 20 nM and 40 nM 17β-estradiol for 6 hours, followed by addition of 300 μM B(e)P for additional 24 hours. Cell viability was...
