Table 2. Changes in cloacal gland area during hormonal manipulations.

Cloacal gland area of intact females (SHAM), ovariectomized (OVX), ovariectomized females treated with testosterone (OVX+T) or ovariectomized females treated with testosterone and Vorozole (OVX+T+VOR, only in exp. 3) measured before and during (Days/rows annotated with the mention “TRT”) treatment (exp. 3) or just before the sacrifice (exp. 4). Testosterone induced an increase of the size of cloacal gland in both experiments.
