Early androgen activity after birth determines the hypothalamic expression of androgen and estrogen receptors in adulthood in female but not in male rats

Abstract Gonadal steroids are involved in the organization and programming of several neural systems. The main objective of this study was to determine whether androgen activity in the early postnatal stage influenced the long-term expression of androgen and estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus.
