Steroidogenesis in the Fetal Testis and Its Susceptibility to Disruption by Exogenous Compounds

1 Dec 2009

Abstract excerpt

Masculinization depends on adequate production of testosterone by the fetal testis within a specific "masculinization programming window." Disorders resulting from subtle deficiencies in this process are common in humans, and environmental exposures/lifestyle could contribute causally because common therapeutic and environmental compounds can affect steroidogenesis. This evidence derives mainly from rodent...
