Note: “OVX” indicates bilateral ovarian resection; the green bar indicates estrogen or estradiol benzoic acid; the red bar indicates estrone; the orange bar indicates progesterone; the purple bar indicates benzoic acid and progesterone. The up arrows indicate upregulation, the down arrows indicate downregulation, and the horizontal bars indicate no change. Abbreviations: E2: estradiol; BrdU: bromodeoxyuridine; EB: estradiol benzoate; FST: forced swimming test; P4: progesterone; SD rats: Sprague-Dawley rats.
