Table 2.

Mean (+/− SEM) thymus (mg), paired testis (mg), seminal vesicle (SV; mg), and uterine weights (mg) in adolescent- or adult-exposed males and females treated with 0, 25, or 100 μg/ml of oral corticosterone (CORT) for four weeks. Exposure during adolescence (Adol) was from 30-58 days of age, while exposure during adulthood (Adult) was from 70-98 days of age. Numbers that share a letter within a measure and sex are not significantly different from one another, while “†” indicates a significant main effect of age of exposure within a sex.
