Abstract
Abstract
Neonatal exposure to the synthetic estrogen, diethylstilbestrol, is known to affect the structure of the male reproductive system; thus, changes may also occur in the levels of hormone receptors. Prolactin receptor levels from the reproductive systems of male BALB/c mice exposed neonatally to diethylstilbestrol were analyzed. Neonatal exposure to diethylstilbestrol caused significant decreases (i) in prolactin receptor levels in the seminal vesicle, ductus deferens, and anterior and ventral prostates and (ii) in tissue weight and protein content in reproductive organs other than the ventral prostate.
