Table 4:

Summary of the statistical analyses performed on 4 steroids measured in 2 brain areas and in the serum of adult castrated males or castrates treated with Silastic implants filled with T (T40) or with two doses of E2 (E40 and E80). Data for brain areas were analyzed by a two-way ANOVA for each steroid with the area considered and treatment of the subjects as independent factors. Concentrations in the serum were compared in the 4 treatment group by a one-way ANOVA for each steroid. Df= degrees of freedom.
