Effect of Estradiol and Nonylphenol on mRNA Levels of VitellogeninII in the Liver of Chicken Embryos

Nonylphenol is one of the endocrine disrupting agents with estrogenic activity in some vertebrates. The present study was conducted to assess estrogenic activity of p-nonylphenol (NP) in chicken embryos by determining mRNA levels of liver vitellogenin II (VTG II). Fertile chicken eggs were incubated...
