OBJECTIVES: An important step of sexual differentiation is the conversion of testosterone to estrogen by aromatase leading to masculinization and defeminization of the fetal brain areas crucial for normal sexual behavior and reproduction. Brain sexual differentiation occurs throughout a critical period starting from different prenatal s.....
