TL;DR: Male pseudohermaphroditism resembling testicular feminization develops in animals that are deprived of androgens in utero by one of the several mechanisms, including castration, defective testosterone synthesis, and exposure to pharmacologic agents that either block androgen biosynthesis in the testis or androgen action at the end organ.
Journal Article
Testosterone metabolism in the androgen-insensitive rat: a model for testicular feminization.
TL;DR: These findings suggest that the androgen insensitivity of the pseudohermaphroditic rat is due to an inherited abnormality of a regulatory protein which renders the nucleus of the cell incapable of concentrating androgens at their proposed intracellular site of action.
