Abstract
⺠Estrogen-like chemicals at μM-mM concentrations have cytotoxic effects on BeWo and HTR-8/SVneo trophoblast cells. ⺠Estrogen-like chemicals at non-cytotoxic (pM-nM) concentrations alter β-hCG secretion in BeWo trophoblast-like cells. ⺠BeWo cells are a suitable model for studying the effects of low doses of various environmental chemicals on human placenta.
