Testosterone influences song behaviour and social dominance - but independent of prenatal yolk testosterone exposure.

General and comparative endocrinology - 1 Jan 2014

Vergauwen Jonas, Groothuis Ton G G, Eens Marcel, Müller Wendt

Abstract excerpt

In the last two decades, maternally derived yolk androgens have been shown to significantly alter offspring development, and a number of these effects persist into adulthood. However, little is known about their underlying mechanisms. Mechanisms that have been suggested are changes in the endogenous androgen production post-hatching or changes in the sensitivity towards circulating androgens. We tested the...
