All the results represent mean ± standard error of six animals; when comparing prenatal steroid groups with vehicle groups or melatonin groups with prenatal steroid groups. The letters above each represented different groups with DEX representing the prenatal steroid; MEL: melatonin treatment after prenatal steroid.
