From: Embryonic exposure to the fungicide vinclozolin causes virilization of females and alteration of progesterone receptor expression in vivo: an experimental study in mice

Figure 3

Progesterone receptor mRNA expression in females and males compared between control and treated groups. In both sexes, progesterone receptor levels were significantly higher in genital tubercles from treated animals compared to those from control animals. *, P < 0.05 compared to same-sex controls. Males, females = mice born to dams gavaged with corn oil only. TxdM = treated males; TxdF = treated females. Treated animals were born to females gavaged with 50/mg/kg vinclozolin daily from E13 through E17.
