Physiological and endocrine correlates of maternal behavior in control and dnFGFR mothers. (A) Percent pups with or without milk in their stomachs that are born by control or dnFGFR dams. N = 46 and 71 for pups born to control and dnFGFR dams, respectively. (B, C) Total hypothalamic pro-oxyphysin (B) or GnRH (C) transcript in post-partum dams. Control n = 6 and dnFGFR n = 7 dams. (D) Plasma E2 in control and dnFGFR post-partum dams. Control n = 4 and dnFGFR n = 6 dams. Bars represent the mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.
