Effect of arsenic and LPS
| Tap water | Arsenic | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saline | LPS | Saline | LPS | |
| Growth Rate* | ||||
| (g/wk) | 2.5 ± 0.1 | 2.4 ± 0.3 | 1.9 ± 0.2b | 2.0 ± 0.2b |
| Body Wt | ||||
| (g) | 30.8 ± 0.9 | 29.3 ± 0.7 | 25.3 ± 0.5b | 26.9 ± 0.9b |
| Liver Wt | ||||
| (g) | 1.3 ± 0.1 | 1.4 ± 0.1 | 1.3 ± 0.1 | 1.2 ± 0.1 |
| (% of BW) | 4.3 ± 0.2 | 4.7 ± 0.2 | 5.0 ± 0.3b | 4.5 ± 0.2a |
growth rates were determined during the linear phase of body weight gain in normal mice (months 1-2 of arsenic exposure).
