Figure 1

Experimental design. We used 6 taiep rats and 6 Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats divided into two groups: juvenile and adult. The rats in the juvenile group were sacrificed at the age of 30 days and those in the adult group were sacrificed in estrous at the age of 90 ± 5 days. Vaginal opening records, body weighing, and estrous cycle records were acquired in the adult group.
