TSR: an acronym from the words
Testosterone Sterilized (female) Rat. A TSR manifests the persistent
estrus syndrome. Lacking ovulatory cycles, she is
sterile. The condition is induced experimentally by injections of testosterone prior to the age of eleven days. The first five days of life are the most sensitive or critical ones. Smaller doses are then effective. The effect is life-long.
