Table 3.
Average total number and density (×102 cells/mm3) of cells expressing 5αR1 (A), 5αR2 (B), and aromatase (C) mRNA in the three forebrain regions analyzed. Standard errors are in parentheses. Values that were not statistically significant are listed here and those associated with significant effects are depicted in the figures.
