  • Transient exposure of a gestating female rat during the period of gonadal sex determination to the endocrine disruptors vinclozalin (an antiandrogenic compound) or methoxychlor (an estrogenic compound) induces decreased spermatogenic capacity (cell number and viability) and increased incidence of male infertility in nearly all males of all subsequent generations examined.
