The male offspring of rats stressed three times daily during days 14-21 of pregnancy were more likely to show lordotic behavior when tested in adulthood than were control males. This feminization of sexual behavior was not observed if the mothers were injected with the opioid antagonist naltrexone before being stressed. These data suggest that endogenous opioids released under conditions of stress can alter the normal process of sexual behavior differentiation in the fetal male rat.
