An increase in aldosterone levels during the eighth hour and in prolactin levels during the third hour after stimulation onset approached significance ( p ≤ 0.075; Fig. 2c, d and Supplementary Fig. 3b, c ), with exploratory analyses revealing enhanced prolactin levels after stimulation at two of the 15-min samplings (150 min and 165 min post-stimulation onset, respectively, p ≤ 0.050).
