Table 2.
Rapid (6 min) PRL release elicited by 1 pM and 1 nM E2 and DES expressed as percentage increase over basal levels
1 pM | 1 nM | |
---|---|---|
Percentage increase in E2 | 81.0 ± 32.9 | 176 ± 65.3 |
Percentage increase in DES | 69.8 ± 22.0 | 73.1 ± 16.5 |
Effects of hormonal treatments were compared to a vehicle control (basal level) containing 0.001 % ethanol. Each point represents mean ± S.E.M. of at least 6 observations per concentration from 3 (DES) or 4 (E2) separate experiments. All values were significant increases in comparison to the vehicle control at P < 0.05.
