Abstract Prenatal stimulations have been shown to have long-term effects on at reproductive activity. We
evaluated the influence of the prenatal stress on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonad (HPG) axis in male offsprings from mothers with high number of offsprings per litter (HNL) and low number of offsprings per litter
(LNL) after hypothesizing that the number of offsprings per litter may modify the effect of the prenatal stress on
