The occurrence of polyovular follicles (PF) was examined at 10-34 days of age in the ovaries of BALB/cCrgl female mice given five daily injections of 0.1 .mu.g diethylstilbestrol (DES), 2 .mu.g DES, 100 .mu.g progesterone (P), 137 .mu.g 17.alpha.-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (HPC), 20 .mu.g testosterone (T), 20 .mu.g 5.alpha.-dihydrotestosterone (5.sbd.DHT), or oil vehicle alone starting on the day of birth, and of C57BL/Tw females given five neonatal injections of 1 .mu.g DES, 20 .mu.g 17.beta.-estradiol (E2), 50 .mu.g 5.alpha.-DHT, 50 .mu.g 5.beta.-DHT, or the vehicle alone. Ovaries of 30-day-old C57BL mice given five daily injections of 1.mu.g DES starting at 3-25 days of age were also examined. PF incidence (% of PF per ovary) and PF frequency (% of mice with PF) were significantly greater in BALB/C mice receiving injections of DES, P, HPC, and T than in the controls. In DES-treated mice at 34 days, PF incidence (2-13 oocytes/follicle) was 120-340 times higher than in the controls. BALB/c mice treated with T, P, and HPC showed PF incidence (two to four oocytes/follicle) three- to six-fold higher than in the controls. In 30-day-old C57BL mice treated with T, E2, and DES, PF incidence also increased by two- to 50-fold. 5.alpha.-DHT and 5.beta.-DHT failed to increase PF incidence. PF incidence was significantly increased only when neonatal DES treatment was begun on days 0 to 3, but was reduced when started at days 10-25. In DES-treated C57BL mice aged 10-30 days, PF incidence was significantly higher than in the age-matched controls.
