Table 4. Effects of DMP Exposure on Serum FSH and LH in Female C57 Micea.
| Treatment | FSH, mIU/mL | LH, mIU/mL | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 Days | 40 Days | 20 Days | 40 Days | |
| Control | 214.92 ± 17.67 | 162.73 ± 9.39 | 4339 ± 290 | 4164 ± 184 |
| DMP, g/kg | ||||
| 0.5 | 215.03 ± 11.80 | 158.93 ± 9.21 | 3885 ± 295 | 4115 ± 155 |
| 1 | 204.97 ± 5.74 | 153.16 ± 11.61 | 4109 ± 407 | 4447 ± 304 |
| 2 | 207.99 ± 16.78 | 126.35 ± 8.46b,c,d | 3857 ± 309 | 5192 ± 362b,c,d |
a The data are presented as mean ± SD; N = 5 for each group. The effect of DMP was analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post hoc testing by the Games-Howell test (for heterogeneous group variances).
b Significantly different from control (P < 0.05).
c Significantly different from 0.5 g/kg/d (P <0.05).
d Significantly different from 1 g/kg/d (P <0.05).
