Figure 2From: Variations in maternal care alter corticosterone and 17beta-estradiol levels, estrous cycle and folliculogenesis and stimulate the expression of estrogen receptors alpha and beta in the ovaries of UCh ratsHormonal profile of UCh mothers and offspring after variation of maternal care in the postpartum period. (A) Plasma corticosterone levels in the UCh mothers (ng/mL); (B) Plasma corticosterone levels in the UCh offspring (ng/mL); (C) Plasma FSH levels in the UCh offspring (ng/mL); (D) Plasma LH levels in the UCh offspring (ng/mL); (E) Plasma E2 levels in the UCh offspring (pg/mL) and (F) Plasma P4 levels in the UCh offspring (ng/mL). Values are expressed as means ± SEM. n = 10 animals/group. Student's t-test; * p < 0.05.Back to article page
