Urinary sodium excretion (24 hr) by age and treatment (means ± SEM). Two-way repeated measures ANOVA: treatment- 𝐹 = 9 . 1 , 𝑑 𝑓 = 3 , 𝑃 < . 0 0 1 , age- 𝐹 = 3 . 1 , 𝑑 𝑓 = 9 , 𝑃 < . 0 5 , interaction not significant. Open bars: controls (C, 𝑛 = 8 ), solid black bars: ovarectomy (OVX, 𝑛 = 6 ), gray bars: testosterone treated (T, 𝑛 = 6 ), striped bars: ovarectomy and testosterone treatment (OVX+T, 𝑛 = 7 ) (* 𝑃 < . 0 5 , ** 𝑃 < . 0 1 , *** 𝑃 < . 0 0 1 compared to control).
