Figure 5. Effects of neonatal DES treatment on serum gonadotropin levels in prepubertal hamsters and in mature hamsters that were subjected or not to various prepubertal surgical procedures.

Figure 5

Shown are the levels (mean ± S.E.) of luteinizing hormone (upper panel) and follicle-stimulating hormone (lower panel) in serum collected from the indicated animal treatment groups (see Materials and Methods for detailed descriptions of each group). Asterisks indicate means for the neonatally DES-exposed animals (D) that were significantly (p <0.05) different from the control animals (C) in a given group. The number of observations in each treatment group were:
d-21 2-mo/I 2-mo/O 2-mo/O+E2 HOMO CROSS
