Mean ± S.E.M. of investigation, aggression, and reproductive behaviors in female hamsters (n=10 saline-treated; n=10 LPS-treated) across treatment groups. The frequency and duration of nose-to-nose investigation, the frequency and duration of total investigation, and the duration of attacks were significantly different between receptive treatment groups. An asterisk (*) indicates statistically significant differences between group means (p < 0.05).
