Abstract in Portuguese
A fertilização in vitro tem sido associada com um aumento na incidência das hipospádias, e alguns hormônios esteróides usados em seus protocolos têm sido implicados neste processo. Para testar essas hipóteses em um modelo animal, descrevemos neste trabalho as alterações morfológicas ocorridas no tubérculo genital de camundongos, expostos à progesterona durante a vida intrauterina. Foi administrado acetato de medroxiprogesterona por via subcutânea no período pré-natal em animais normais e animais desprovidos de receptores androgênicos (Tfm). A progesterona induziu a formação de hipospádia nos animais do sexo masculino, virilização nos do sexo feminino e não causou alterações nos animais Tfm

Abstract in English
In vitro fertilization (IVF) has been associated with an increase incidence of hypospadias. IVF protocols require the maternal use of progesterone which may be a factor in causing hypospadias. To test these hypotheses in an animal model, we describe the effects of maternal progesterone exposure on genital development in mice. Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) was administered by subcutaneous injection during the pre-natal period to wild type mice and animals knockout to androgen receptors (Tfm mice). Progesterone caused hypospadias in male mice fetuses, a virilizing effect in the female mice genitalia and didn't have any effect in Tfm animals
