To carry out this objective, ERβKO and WT mice from the University of Illinois, USA, were ovariectomized and stimulated with estradiol. The weight of the anterior pituitary glands, the serum estradiol levels were determined and the number of lactotroph and somatotroph cells (PRL and GH) that expressed the proliferation marker ki67 was quantified by double immunocytochemistry. ANOVA Fischer statistical analysis was performed with p
