Summary of the statistical analyses performed on steroids measured in the telencephalon and 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 each steroid and tissue were analyzed by a one-way ANOVA with the treatments of the subjects as independent factor. Df= degrees of freedom.
