Description:
Exposure of rats to phenobarbital during late prenatal development decreased the concentration of testosterone in plasma and the brain during the late fetal, early postnatal, pubertal, and adult periods, By decreasing the production of testosterone in the brain during the period of sexual differentiation, phenobarbital may lead to sexual dysfunction in later life.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gupta, C -- Yaffe, S J -- Shapiro, B H -- GM-26222/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- HD -10063/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- T-32GM07514/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1982 May 7;216(4546):640-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7200262" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
