Abstract
The reproductive endocrine effects of chronic lead exposure were investigated in 9 year old male (n = 16) cynomolgus monkeys, orally dosed with lead acetate (1500 micrograms/kg/day) according to the following dosing regimens: continuous exposure from birth onward (lifetime, n = 4), beginning at postnatal day 300 (post-infancy, n = 5) and postnatal days 0 to 400 (infancy, n = 4), or vehicle only (control, n = 3).
