Plasma E2 (pg/ml) (A, B), progesterone (ng/ml) (C, D), and LH (ng/ml) (E, F) levels across the estrous cycle at basal and stress conditions in E, PF, and C females (mean ± SEM). The n’s in each prenatal treatment, time and estrous phase is shown in (A) and (B). For E2 levels, E: proestrus > diestrus under basal conditions (*p < 0.01), and proestrus > diestrus = estrus under stress conditions (#p’s < 0.05). PF: Proestrus > Diestrus = Estrus under both basal and stress conditions (#p’s < 0.05). In proestrus: PF > C (&p < 0.05) following stress. For progesterone levels, in proestrus, PF > E = C under basal conditions (*p < 0.001), and stress > basal in E and C females only (#p < 0.001). For LH levels, E: in proestrus, stress > basal (*p < 0.01), and proestrus > estrus under stress conditions (#p < 0.05).
