“…This increase in testosterone at a critical period of development has been implicated in the long-term modulation of a number of central nervous system (CNS) functions including play and sexual behavior, dopaminergic neurotransmission and responses to early CNS lesions [3,4,5,6,7,8]. The neonatal testosterone surge is relatively labile in that it has been shown to be altered by environmental manipulations such as cooling or anesthesia in the neonate and maternal exposure to repeated hypoxia, stress, alcohol or toxins during pregnancy [9,10,11,12,13]. In the current study we examined whether neonatal testosterone levels can be influenced by another environmental insult, namely birth hypoxia.…”

“…Ward and colleagues [11,12,41] have repeatedly shown that the effects of prenatal ethanol exposure often synergize with prenatal stress to affect measures of male sexual behavior and reduce testosterone levels during development. In particular, they found that while prenatal stress suppresses prenatal and does not affect postnatal testosterone, ethanol exposure enhances prenatal and suppresses postnatal testosterone levels [11,12,41].…”

“…In particular, they found that while prenatal stress suppresses prenatal and does not affect postnatal testosterone, ethanol exposure enhances prenatal and suppresses postnatal testosterone levels [11,12,41]. Prenatal exposure to ethanol and stress combined have the most dramatic feminizing effect on male sexual behavior [9].…”
