Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are environmental contaminants. The present study was aimed to test the effect of lactational exposure of PCBs on Leydig cellular mRNA and protein expressions of 5α-reductase, aromatase and androgen receptor (AR) in F1 male offspring. Lactating dams were orally gavaged with different doses of PCBs (Aroclor 1254) 0, 1, 2 and 5 mg kg b.wt day , respectively, from PND1 to PND21. Male offsprings were sacrificed at PND21. Testes were used to isolate Leydig cells. Blood was collected. Serum testosterone (T) and oestradiol (E ) were measured. Anogenital distance was measured. Dams' milk lipid and serum lipids of male pups were estimated. PCB (Aroclor 1254) concentration of dams' milk and serum of male pups were analysed by GC-ECD. Leydig cellular mRNA and protein expressions of 5α-reductase, aromatase and AR were significantly decreased. Our data suggest that lactational exposure of PCBs downregulates selected genes in Leydig cells of F1 generation on post-natal day 21.
