Fig. 4. Emergence of prostatic buds in the female UGT, and the effect of testosterone on female UGT with or without prostatic buds. (A) Five female UGTs with the VMP at the cranial end (right side). The leftmost sample shows no prostatic buds, while the next three samples show increasing bud size and proximity to the VMP, and the rightmost sample shows a bifurcated prostatic bud within the VMP. Buds are marked by an arrowhead. (B) Left side shows the effect of testosterone (T) on female UGTs without prostatic buds; right side shows female UGTs with prostatic buds grown in the presence or absence of testosterone.
