Pituitary weight and functions, and body weight in animals treated with DES + phytoestrogens. A. The wet weights of pituitaries; B. serum PRL levels; C. serum GH levels; and D. body weight, from animals treated without (open bar) or with DES (dark bars) in combination with Chol (control), Cou, Dai, Gen, and Resv for 8 weeks. The abbreviations are as defined in the legend of Figure 1. * = p < 0.05 compared to control (Chol) animals without DES treatment. n = 10 animals for each group. There were no statistically significant differences between animals treated with DES alone, compared to DES + phytoestrogens.
