Microarray analysis of perinatal-estrogen-induced changes in gene expression related to brain sexual differentiation in mice.

Microarray analysis of perinatal-estrogen-induced changes in gene expression related to brain sexual differentiation in mice.

Sexual dimorphism of the behaviors or physiological functions in mammals is mainly due to the sex difference of the brain. A number of studies have suggested that the brain is masculinized or defeminized by estradiol converted from testicular androgens in perinatal period in rodents. However, the me...
