Future studies that control for estrogenic effects of ovarian activation, food availability, and body growth during the relatively protracted period of pheromonal induction of first estrus offer promise for extending our understanding of the role of social and environmental signals on body growth and sexual maturation.
Evidence may in fact suggest, although there is some debate, that exposure of female rhesus monkeys to aroclor 1254 (a mixture of PCB congeners) leads to a reduction in the sex ratio of offspring, possibly contributed to by increased spontaneous abortion of male fetuses [ 28 29 30 ] . Preconception parental estrogen levels have also been hypothesized to affect the sex ratio of live births [ 22 ] , and given the estrogenic and anti-estrogenic actions of different PCB congeners [ 57 58 ] , this could be another mechanism by which parental exposure to PCBs alters the sex ratio.
Evidence of the stimulatory effect of male pheromone on sexual maturation of juvenile females was seen most clearly in the large increase in mass of the LVC and uteri of exposed females at 130 days, and although not reflected in plasma estradiol levels, classic estrogenic effects of male pheromone exposure are evident in the increased mass of these reproductive organs.
