Effect of deoxycorticosterone acetate administration to pregnant rats on the brain of their offspring.
Effects of deoxycorticosterone acetate injected to rats on gestation days 18 and 20 on morphometric indexes of the brain and RNA concentration in neurons of neocortical layer V in 1-day-old offspring were studied. The brain in 1-day-old prenatally treated rats was more developed than in the offspring of intact and control females.
