Neonatal exposure to endocrine active compounds or an ER[beta] agonist increases adult anxiety and aggression in gonadally intact male rats

Endocrine active compounds (EACs) have been shown to influence a number of reproductive endpoints but less is known about how they might affect other hormone dependent behaviors including anxiety and aggression. Recent evidence suggests that these effects may be mediated through the beta form of the estrogen receptor (ER[beta]). Using male Long Evans rats, we […]
