Comparisons of urinary estrone conjugate (E1-C), estriol (uE3), follicle-stimulating hormone (uFSH), luteinizing hormone (uLH), progestagens (uPg) and cortisol (uCort) concentrations (ng/mg creatinine) between animals that ovulated (n = 11) and ones that did not ovulate (n = 8) before and after day of deviance (DOD).1 Data are presented as marginal mean hormone concentrations (95% CI).

1DOD for animals that did not ovulate was determined by overlaying the DOD (day 10 prior to ovulation) and the mean days post-regumate that animals ovulated (day 23 post-regumate); 2Overall: hormone concentration from the day of regumate withdrawal until ovulation; *Only means within each column that were significantly different (P ≤ 0.05), with Sidak correction, are listed.
