1 Effect of particle size on the prolonged action of subcutaneous danazol in male and female rats

2 Figure 1 Serum LH levels in castrated male rats after a single subcutaneous injection of vehicle, danazol with a particle size of 2.05 μm (particle #1), or danazol with a particle size of 5.2 μm (particle #2). The larger-particle danazol suppressed LH levels for the entire 35 days of the study (P<.001), whereas LH levels increased after 25 days in animals that received the smaller-particle danazol.

3 Figure 2 Estrous cycle length in female rats that received danazol with a particle size of 2.05 μm (particle #1), or danazol with a particle size of 5.2 μm (particle #2). The normal estrous cycle of 4.8 ± 0.40 days was prolonged to 38.7 ± 0.95 days (P<.001) after injection of larger-particle danazol, whereas smaller-particle danazol inhibited estrus for 25.5 ± 3.1 days. The results of Tukey-Kramer post hoc analysis comparing all mean differences (particle #1 vs. particle #2, particle #1 vs. vehicle, and particle #2 vs. vehicle) were significant (P<.05). Butterstein.
