Perinatal blockade of neuronal glutamine uptake by MeAIB (5 mm, icv) for 2 days on PN0–1 and on PN5–6 had no effect on the expression of feminizing and aggressive behaviors in hormone-primed castrated male rats

icv, intracerebroventricular injection; PN, postnatal day; LQ, lordosis quotient; LS, lordosis score; DW, distilled water.

p > 0.99, p > 0.99, p > 0.99, and p = 0.41 for LQ, LS, total number of lordosis, and immobility, respectively; two-tailed Mann-Whitney test.

p = 0.37 and p = 0.92 for percentage of confrontation to mounting and mount attempts, respectively; unpaired t test.

The numbers in parentheses indicate the number of animals tested.
