Table 3.
Latency to enter the nest box in females that nursed on postpartum days 1-3, relative to parity and agent injected icv* (mean±se; minutes)
| Group | Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primiparous-VEH | 0.2±0.2 | 5.4±5.4 | 5.16±4.8 |
| Primiparous-OTA | 4.4±2.3 | 0.8±6.0 | 2.4±2.3 |
| Multiparous-VEH | 0±0 | 0±0 | 0±0 |
| Multiparous-OTA | 0±0 | 0±0 | 1.3±1.3 |
data derived from the number of nursing does shown in Table 2. A two-way ANOVA was used to determine, on days 1, 2, and 3: a) the effects of parity and injected agent; b) a possible interaction between those two factors
