FIGURE 5

A) Glucose and B) lactate concentrations in extracellular fluid of hippocampus and striatum collected from ovariectomized female rats treated systemically with two days of either oil vehicle (grey bars) or estradiol benzoate (EB; purple bars). Data correspond to schematized results shown in Figure 4. Estradiol increased glucose in hippocampus but not striatum and increased lactate in hippocampus but decreased lactate in striatum. Hippocampal concentrations of glucose A) are substantially lower in males compared to females while hippocampal concentrations of lactate B) are significantly lower in females compared to males. # = p = 0.07; * = p < 0.05; @ = p < 0.05 males vs oil or EB.
