Abstract

Male deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus bairdii) were reared in a long photoperiod and housed individually from 3 weeks of age until they were killed 2, 4, or 6 weeks later. Males that were exposed to aggressive females for 2 min, three times per week, were of normal body weight and healthy, but had smaller reproductive organs than did males exposed to a control treatment. Reproductive development in male deer mice is responsive to at least two classes of social stimuli: pheromones and aggressive behavior.

The effect of 5-fluoro-2Β΄-deoxyuridine (FrdU) on the developing brain and postpubertal reproductive function of male mouse offspring treated prenatally was investigated. FrdU was administered intraperitoneally to pregnant ICR mice at 1.5, 3, 6, 12.5, 25, and 50 mg/kg/day on days 8 through 13 of gest
