Effects of E₂ (open bars), P (hatched bars), E₂+P (cross-hatched bars), and DHT (solid bars) on MR, GR, and CRH mRNA levels in ADX+GDX male (left panels) and female (right panels) rats that were simultaneously exposed to supraphysiological doses of B. Shaded areas depict hybridization signals (±SEM range) measured in B-implanted ADX+GDX animals receiving oil injections instead of gonadal steroids. Asterisks indicate significant differences between vehicle- and sex steroid-treated rats; data represent mean ± SEM of five individuals.
