Abstract excerpt
To study the significance of the increased ratio of the estrogen/androgen concentration for the male reproductive functions, we have generated transgenic mice expressing human P450 aromatase under a promoter providing ubiquitous and permanent transgene expression (AROM+ mice). AROM+ male mice are characterized by elevated serum estradiol and prolactin (Prl) concentrations, combined with markedly reduced...
