From: Chronic periadolescent leuprolide exposure affects the development of reproductive physiology and behavior of female and male rats differently, but both mature after treatment termination

During the period of leuprolide exposure, estrous cyclicity was halted after vaginal opening. Saline controls entered estrus within 4 days of vaginal opening, whereas leuprolide-treated female rats failed to enter estrus after vaginal opening during treatment (saline: n = 14; leuprolide: n = 7). Data are presented as the mean number of days until first estrus after vaginal opening for each group (± SEM); n = number of subjects in each group
