Untreated 12.5 ± 0.8 15.5 ± 0.6 72 ± 2 10.5 ± 4.3 515 ± 21 253 ± 80 1.9 ± 0.8

Values are expressed as means ± SE after an iv bolus of dextrose to female offspring from baboons untreated (n = 4) or treated on days 100–165/175 of gestation (term = 184 days) with letrozole (115 μg/kg body weight/day via maternal sc injection, n = 4)
