Abstract

We used an in vivo rat model to demonstrate that low-dose intradermal exposure to E2 valerate has an inverse effect on the female's estrus cycle pattern and can significantly reduce litter size. These results suggest that, under certain circumstances, environmental exposure to exogenous estrogens may play a role as an endocrine disruptor and adversely affect reproductive outcome.
