The Effects of Maternal Low Protein and Estrogen on Sexual Behavior and Testicular Maturation in Male Rats

In recent years, disorders related to the development and function of the male reproductive tract has increased, thus generating a surprising decrease in semen volume and sperm count. We examined the effects of low protein and estrogen on sexual behavior and testicular maturation in male rats. We al...
