Table 2.
Percentage (mean ± SEM) of BrdU-labeled cells in the GCL+SGZ that were co-labeled with NeuN for both experiments (n=3/group).
| Experiment | Group | Percent cells co-labeled |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Castrate/pair-housed | 83.3 ± 1.8 |
| Castrate/isolated | 75.0 ± 3.0 | |
| Sham/pair-housed | 79.3 ± 5.2 | |
| Sham/isolated | 78.0 ± 1.2 | |
| 2 | Oil/pair-housed | 69.3 ± 1.3 |
| Oil/isolated | 78.5 ± 1.7* | |
| Testosterone/pair-housed | 72.7 ± 3.5 | |
| Testosterone/isolated | 82.7 ± 1.8* |

For Experiment 2, socially isolated rats had a significantly higher percentage of co-labeled cells than did pair-housed rats (P=0.003).
