Table 1.
Serum estradiol concentrations and body weight in developing intact female Sprague-Dawley rats (Experiment 2).
Age | Serum estradiol (pg/ml) |
Body weight (g) |
---|---|---|
Prepubertal (P22) | 9.0 ± 1.6 | 39.2 ± 0.8 |
Pubertal (P35) | 26.0 ± 3.9* | 92.3 ± 1.2* |
Post-pubertal (P49) | 33.9 ± 9.8* | 103.6 ± 0.8* |
Group data are shown for rats on the day of euthanasia (between 1200–1400 h) as mean ± SEM.
p < 0.05 vs. Prepubertal.
P = postnatal days of age.
