Values are the means ± SE of the average levels of blood glucose and plasma insulin at 1, 3 and 5 min, area under curve (AUC) for glucose and insulin, and ratio of glucose AUC ÷ insulin AUC after an iv bolus of dextrose to prepubertal offspring from baboons untreated (n=10) or treated with letrozole (n=5), or letrozole plus estradiol (n=4). Values with different letters are different from each other (P<0.05, glucose: P<0.01, insulin; ANOVA, Tukey-Kramer Multiple Comparison test).
P=0.07 versus untreated or letrozole plus estradiol-treatment (ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test).
