Abstract | The studies presented in the review indicate that perinatal exposure of the fetal or neonatal rodent to a toxicant can adversely affect reproductive development, reduce fertility and accelerate reproductive senescence. In rodents and humans exposure to DES, estrogens, androgens and progestins during critical developmental periods produce morphological and pathological alterations of the reproductive tract of males and females. DES treatment causes cancer, infertility and serious morphological abnormalities of the reproductive tract in all species examined. |
