Timing of prenatal androgen exposure: anatomical and endocrine effects on juvenile male and female rhesus monkeys
RA Herman, B Jones, DR Mann, K Wallen - Hormones and behavior, 2000 - Elsevier
Prenatal androgen shapes genital differentiation. In humans, genital anatomy determines
sex of rearing and subsequent behavioral development. Rhesus monkey genital anatomy
and neuroendocrine function are sexually differentiated, and behavioral development
occurs in a complex social environment. We investigated prenatal hormonal influences on
sexual differentiation by suppressing or increasing androgens in male and female rhesus
monkeys. Pregnant multiparous female rhesus monkeys received 35–40 days of …
