Table 1. Rat plasma estradiol levels.

Rat plasma estradiol levels on experiment day 24 are shown divided by their respective estrous cycle stage, as determined by vaginal lavage cytology on experiment day 24. N/A= not available as no rats were in this estrous cycle stage at the time of assessment.

Estrous cycle stage Plasma estradiol (pg/ml)
Diestrus 1 (n = 14) 133.5 ± 12.70
Diestrus 2 (n = 7) 109.9 ± 4.86
Proestrus (n = 0) N/A
Late proestrus/estrus (n = 6) 161.5 ± 22.69
Estrus (n = 19) 145.9 ± 13.76
