Annual profile of plasma sex steroids at different reproductive periods of Leiolepis ocellata. A Testosterone. B Progesterone. C Estradiol. Each value of hormone concentrations was obtained from an average of plasma hormones of four randomly selected individuals in the same reproductive period, with the exception in January (early first active period) having three individuals, and presented as mean ± SE. Different letters denote significant differences of sex steroid levels among reproductive periods (P < 0.05). Abbreviations: EFA, early first active period; FA, first active period; FR, first recrudescent period; Q, quiescent period; R, resting period; Rg, regressive period; SA, second active period; SR, second recrudescent period
