N2  - Serum testosterone concentration was significantly elevated in adult male rats by a single perinatal allylestrenol administration. One week after a second allylestrenol treatment in adulthood the hormone concentration dropped below the control values. Serum progesterone concentration was significantly lowered in adult female rats by a single perinatal allylestrenol administration. Following a second allylestrenol treatment in adulthood the hormone concentration reached the control values. These experiments demonstrate that the hormonal imprinting caused by allylestrenol (a steroid used in the treatment of endangered pregnancy) not only acts at receptor level and produces changes in sexual behaviour, but also induces modifications in serum hormone concentrations.
