Female neonates of the A, BALB/c, and C57BL/6 mouse strains were injected with androgen, estrogen, or oil and the effects upon their sex behavior studied. Genotype and treatment combined interactively on a substantial number of variables, indicating that the effects of perhatally administered sex hormones and genotype cannot be considered separately. Effects of the 2 hormones were often in different directions. The lordosis response of one genotype appeared relatively insensitive to neonatal treatment, particularly with androgen.
Male neonates of the A, BABL/c, and C57BL/6 mouse strains were injected with androgen and the effects upon their sex behavior studied. Genotype and treatment combined interactively on a number of variables, particularly in the proportions of animals responding, indicating that the effects of perinatally administered androgen and genotype cannot be considered separately.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
