Twice daily intraperitoneal injections of 10 mg THC/kg body weight from 27 days of age until the first day of full vaginal cornification delayed the onset of estrus and the occurrence of the first ovulation by an average of 4.3 ± 0.9 (S.E.M.) days in comparison with pair-fed, vehicle-treated animals (p
