Table 1.

Hormone levels (mean ± SEM) in intact wild-type, Kiss1−/−, and Gpr54−/− mice treated with acyline or vehicle (PBS). P values are for differences between acyline and vehicle treatment. The lower end of the measurable range was 2.6 ng/mL for FSH, 0.04 ng/mL for LH, and 6.2 ng/dL for testosterone.
