@Overall effect of androgen P < 0.04
♣Overall effect of WSD P < 0.04
Different lower case letters indicate differences between individual treatment groups P < 0.05.
*1 WSD female not cycling (no rise in E2, no P4 not mated); one WSD female only mated 2× (not pregnant) due to behavioral concerns.
**1 T + WSD female possible biochemical pregnancy but no post-E2/LH surge rise in P4, not re-mated.
^1 T + WSD pregnancy anembryonic (miscarried ~GD60) and one twin pregnancy terminated at ~GD105 due to impending premature delivery and fetal demise.
