Our own laboratory obtained different results. Not only were we unable to see a clear cut correlation between the incidence of ICOR channels in cell attached patches and the degree of hormonal stimulation [57], we were also unable to reproduce the activation studies in excised patches. In our hands, the activation of ICOR channels occurred simply by the excision, and this was equally true for the normal as for the CF cells [57]. We did note, however, that the other laboratories worked at room temperature whereas we always work at 37°C. Welsh s laboratory has shown meanwhile that excision activation of ICOR Cl -channels is a temperature-dependent process [113]. At low temperature, excision activation is largely delayed [113] but it is immediate in our experiments at 37°C [57]. We concluded that the activation of the ICOR channels has probably little to do with phosphorylation but is rather due to the fact that the excised patch faces a new environment on the cytosolic side [57,72],... 

Women who have been in contact with toxafene have an increased estrogen level in the initial period of the menstrual cycle. Moreover, there was no clear phase change, which shows that hormonal regulation was disrupted [15]. The negative impact of even low doses of OCPs on pregnancy has been proved, especially in the third trimester [1]. It has been shown many times that there is a correlation between embryo death and pesticide content in the mother s body [1]. We will now quote several results of the study of pesticides effects on pregnancy and birth.
