Table 2.

Mean birth weight (± SD) of rat pups in control, alcohol/olive, and alcohol/DHA categories (comparison by one-way ANOVA with Duncan's test).

Group	N	n	Mean wt (g)	SD	95% confidence interval
					Lower bound	Upper bound
Control/Olive	6	48	3.06	0.25	2.80	3.32
LD Alc/Olive	5	38	3.08	0.29	2.72	3.44
HD Alc/Olive	5	40	4.10*	0.25	3.79	4.41
HD Alc/DHA	4	32	3.54**	0.17	3.27	3.82

N = total number of dams per group (final number of dams was less than planned dams per group due to death of some dams during the study); n = total number of pups per group (8 pups per dam, 1 dam in LD Alc/Olive only had 6 pups); LD Alc, low dose alcohol (1.6 g/kg/day); HD Alc, high dose alcohol (2.4 g/kg/day); DHA, docosahexaenoic acid; SD, standard deviation.

^*p = 0.05 when compared to control/olive group, LD Alc/Olive group, or HD Alc/DHA group.

^**p = 0.05 when compared to control/olive group, LD Alc/Olive group, or HD Alc/olive group.
