The aims of the present study are to compare effects of estrogen depletion (OVX) and estradiol (E2) supplementation on the tissue effects of exposure to the endocrine disrupting organochlorine 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB 126). For this purpose two highly estrogen-dependent tissues, bone and uterus, were studied. Forty rats exposed to PCB 126 (ip) for 3 months (total dose 384 mug/kg body weight (bw)) were randomized in to OVX/sham operation or E2 supplementation (ip, 23 mug/kg, 3 days weekly) per vehicle (corn oil) groups in a 2 x 2 factorial design. Sham operated rats were treated with vehicle, PCB or PCB plus E2 (sham, sham + PCB and sham + PCB + E2, n = 10 per group) whereas ovariectomized were treated with vehicle, PCB or PCB plus E2(OVX, OVX + PCB and OVX + PCB + E2, n = 10 per group). As control groups served OVX or sham, and OVX + E2 (n = 10 in each group).In OVX rats PCB 126 + E2 treatment increased trabecular bone volume (TBV) (P
