Abstract

The sum of the evidence supports the necessity to continue to investigate the developmental effects of estrogenic and antiestrogenic compounds when exposure occurs early in life. Additional studies will answer questions relevant to the molecular definition of the developmental or carcinogenic effects of estrogens such as hormone-induced gene alterations. These studies also support the need to use the neonatal mouse model to demonstrate the consequences of reproductive and nonreproductive stem-cell exposure to estrogenic compounds.
