Metabolic and oxidative stress markers’ characteristics of PostN and PreN rats.

Notes: *Significant differences with control rats. – indicates similarities with controls. The full reproductive aspects of these groups (PreN, PostN, and control with and without treatment with GnRH agonists) have been published in a previous study.¹⁹ Our results agreed with those of previous studies that employed testosterone propionate,¹²,¹⁸,⁴⁴,⁴⁵ with few exceptions.⁴⁶

Abbreviations: AOPP, advanced oxidation protein product; FRAP, ferric-reducing ability of plasma; GnRH, gonadotropin-releasing hormone; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; PostN, postnatal; PreN, prenatal; TOS, total oxidation status; TyG, triglygeride–glucose.
