This investigation is, in part, a replication of a study which reported that neonatally administered estrogen masculinizes the genetic female rat to the extent that it exhibits ejaculatory responses. Male and female rats were injected when 4 days old with either 100 μg estradiol benzoate (EB) or oil. In comparison to controls, males neonatally injected with EB had delayed testicular descent and decreased male sexual behavior, body weight and testis weight. Upon histological examination, the testes of EB-treated males were found to have tubular abnormalities. While females injected neonatally with EB exhibited more incomplete and completecopulatory responses to exogenous androgen given at maturity than control subjects, none exhibited ejaculatory patterns. EBtreated females had precocious vaginal openings, disrupted vaginal cycles, anovulatory ovaries and heavier than normal postpuberal body weights.(Endocrinology 87:435,1970
