Note: The data are reported as mean ± SEM, or median and percentile 25 and 75. Insulin (ng/ml); E2, 17β-estradiol (pg/ml); SBP, systolic blood pressure (mmHg); KW/BW, relative weight of kidneys (g/100 g of BW). ** P < 0.01 and *** P < 0.001 versus C + Se and C + Ex; ## P < 0.01 versus D + Se; †† P < 0.01 versus D + Ex.
