Kniewald J, Peruzovic M, Gojmerac T, Milkovic K, Kniewald Z: Indirect influence of s-triazines on rat gonadotropic mechanism at early postnatal period. J Steroid Biochem. 1987;27(4-6):1095-100.
Daily s.c. injections of atrazine and deethylatrazine to rat mothers during pregnancy only or during pregnancy and lactation influenced the pituitary-gonadal axis of male and female offsprings. In female and male offspring, slow maturation of gonadotropic system is evident and as a consequence modified male and female pituitary 5 alpha-R activity is present. The number of specific steroid-hormone receptor sites at the offsprings' gonads is unchanged if the mothers were treated only during pregnancy, but 5 alpha-DHT prostate receptors are strongly inhibited in offspring of mothers treated with atrazine and deethylatrazine during pregnancy and lactation. |
