Health | In experiments by McLachlan and colleagues, reported in the 7 June 1996 issue of Science, a combination of the weakly estrogenic pesticides endosulfan, dieldrin, toxaphene, and chlordane, measured by yeast cell ER binding assays, produced estrogenic activity 150-1,600 times greater than for any of the chemicals alone.

In a technical comment on McLachlan's study, published in the 17 January 1997 issue of Science , Kavita Ramamoorthy and colleagues in the Texas A&M University Department of Veterinary Physiology and Pharmacology reported their failure to replicate synergistic interactions between dieldrin and toxaphene in ER-binding experiments in immature female mice, human breast cancer cell lines, and yeast assays.
