Repeated measures analysis of variance was used to determine the effects of E2 dose and social status (dominant vs. subordinate) on cortisol levels at baseline and following stressor exposure. A. Basal cortisol is dose-dependently increased by E2 in SUB females only. B. E2-replacement increases plasma cortisol 30 minutes following an acute stressor in SUB females alone. Asterisk denotes a status difference in basal cortisol levels.
