Gene Expression Profiling Identifies Lobe-Specific and Common Disruptions of Multiple Gene Networks in Testosterone-Supported, 17β-Estradiol- or Diethylstilbestrol-Induced Prostate Dysplasia in Noble Rats

The xenoestrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) is commonly believed to mimic the action of the natural estrogen 17β-estradiol (E2). To determine if these two estrogens exert similar actions in prostate carcinogenesis, we elevated circulating levels of estrogen in Noble (NBL) rats with E2/DES-filled impl...
