From: Arsenic abrogates the estrogen-signaling pathway in the rat uterus
Serum gonadotropin levels of untreated and arsenic-treated female rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with 4 μg/ml sodium meta-arsenite for 28 days, as described in the Methods section. The results indicate that arsenic has an inhibitory effect on serum levels of both LH and FSH (white bars), as compared to the control animals (black bars). Each value represented as mean ± SE, n = 3, p < 0.05.
