Changes in steroid hormone concentrations in ovarian follicular fluid Changes in the concentrations of (a) androstenedione (SD), (b) progesterone (P4), (c) estradiol (E2), and (d) the E2/P4 ratio in the follicular fluid of weaned sows with and without ACTH. After ACTH injection, the ASD, E2, and E2/P4 ratio were all significantly decreased (P < 0.05) compared to the corresponding values in the control group. *Values were statistically significant at p < 0.05 compared to the control group
