Data from ERαKO animals that received vehicle treatment are not included because none of these mice displayed masculine sexual behavior. Data given are means ± SEM. Numbers of mice per group is given in parentheses.
*Significant genotype difference within same sex. NA, Not applicable; WT, wild-type mice; ERαKO, estrogen receptor α knock-out littermates.
