Sex N acH3 H4 3mH3 H4
V M 9 886.85 ± 91.33 474.06 ± 38.72 811.82 ± 54.50 439.17 ± 41.82
F 9 866.98 ± 119.39 540.41 ± 44.54 759.78 ± 109.64 439.02 ± 51.61

Intensities of acetylated and trimethylated H3 and total H4 measured by densitometry of histone western blots were expressed as mean ± SEM. M, males; F, females; V, vehicle given to pregnant dam on gestational days 16–19; TP, testosterone propionate given to pregnant dams on gestational days 16–19. All pups were collected on the day of birth.
