From: Developmental vitamin D deficiency increases foetal exposure to testosterone
Effect of foetus sex and DVD-deficiency on steroid levels in foetal brain. Male foetal brains had significantly higher levels of a testosterone, b androstenedione, c corticosterone measured as pmol/g of brain tissue. n = 141 males, n = 177 females. d DVD-deficiency increased testosterone synthesis in male and female foetal brains, but this was only significant in males. Levels of androstenedione and corticosterone were not affected by maternal diet. Data is normalized to control group. n = 64 control males, n = 77 DVD-deficient males, n = 86 control females, n = 91 DVD-deficient females. TEST testosterone, AND androstenedione, CORT corticosterone. Error bars show SEM
