Figure 2.
Area under the Delta LCC curve (AUC) values at each time point in both castrated (CAS) and control (SHAM) groups. Results are reported in Relative Light Unit (RLU). Lowercase letters indicate differences between and within groups at different time points (P < 0.05). Time points are reported as follows: −1 h (1 h before castration/manipulation), 30 min, 3 d, 7 d, 14 d (30 min, 3, 7, and 14 d postcastration/manipulation).
