Female mice deficient in alpha-fetoprotein show female-typical neural responses to conspecific-derived pheromones.
The neural mechanisms controlling sexual behavior are sexually differentiated by the perinatal actions of sex steroid hormones. We recently observed using female mice deficient in alpha-fetoprotein (AFP-KO) and which lack the protective actions of AFP against maternal estradiol, that exposure to pre...
