Strange-male-induced pregnancy disruption in mice: Potentiation by administration of 17β-estradiol to castrated males
Abstract
Previous evidence suggests that androgen activity is necessary for strange males to disrupt early pregnancy in mice. Inseminated females were housed below castrated males, separated by a wire-mesh grid. Castrated males did not disrupt pregnancy, whereas those given daily injections of 27 or 81 micrograms of 17 beta-estradiol did so. In conjunction with previous evidence, these data suggest a similarity between the hormones involved in the …
