Effects of prepubertal chronic oestrogen treatment (PCOT) on the mean optical density per area unit (OD) of p75 in Fluorogold-positive (FG+) uterine-projecting sympathetic neurons of the rat thoraco-lumbar sympathetic chain and in sympathetic neurons of the superior cervical ganglia (SCG)

Neuron	Treatment	n	OD – Median	IQR
FG+	Control 4W	217	79	82–92
	PCOT	217	84	87–95
SCG	Control 4W	110	80	80–88
	PCOT	114	82	80–90

Data are expressed as median (interquartile ranges, IQR) and were compared by the Kruskal–Wallis analysis of variance followed by Dunn's multiple comparison test. n = number of neurons.
