Male urethras and hypospadias. Top row shows control (A, left) and treated (B, right, higher-dose group) macroscopic view of male fetal genital tubercle. Note the normal location of the urethral opening (arrow, left) and the more-proximal opening the in treated sample (arrow, right), indicating hypospadias. Urethral openings were visualized by emergence of casting resin from the opening. The bottom row shows a typical control male cast (C, left) and a male urethral cast from the higher-dose group (D, right). Note the lack of an "S" shape and the overall atrophic appearance of the urethra from the treated male (right).
