Third-generation female rats whose progenitors were exposed to vinclozolin, a common-use fungicide with endocrine-disrupting (EDC) properties, and hence epigenetically altered, prefer males from the unexposed Control-lineage. Males do not show this preference. See Fig. 6 for further details. Both females and males from Control- and EDC-lineages were tested with pairs of Control- and EDC-lineage stimulus partners. Presented are the mean (+1 standard error) differences in the time spent in each behavior. Left panel: Behaviors exhibited by females from Control- and EDC-lineages towards males from Control-lineage (positive, right side) and EDC-lineage (negative, left side). Right panel: Behaviors exhibited by males from Control- and EDC-lineages towards females from Control-lineage (positive, right side) and EDC-lineage (negative, left side). The various behavioral measures and test are described in Crews et al. (2007). Reprinted by permission from Crews et al. [24].
