title: Effect of deoxycorticosterone acetate administration to pregnant rats on the brain of their offspring.
abstract: 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.
