  1. PAG concentrations are expressed as mean ± SEM.
  2. AI: artificial insemination.
  3. Values with similar superscripts in the same column are statistically different (aP < 0.01; bP < 0.05).
  4. Significant differences between PAG concentrations from pregnant and non-pregnant females are indicated by asterisks (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.0001).
