Which of the following mechanisms of action could the drug from the above question potentially have to cause the described effects in male rats (so disruption of male sexual behavior when given prenatally but not when given in adulthood)?
According to the hormonal hypothesis of sexuality and gender identity, just as exposure to specific hormones affects prenatal sex differentiation, it also affects an adult's later-emerging sexual orientation or gender identity.
Sex variations in a wide range of behaviours, including sexual orientation, are thought to be caused by differences in brain structure that result from chemical messengers and genes interacting with developing brain cells.
Later sex-typed behaviour may be influenced by prenatal variables that impact or interfere with how these hormones interact with the developing brain.
