Figure 5. Fetal distribution of radioactivity after injection of 3H-arachidonic acid (AA, Panel A) and 14C-docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, Panel B) to the dam as a function of DEHP exposure.

Figure 5

Dams were dosed with DEHP (1500 mg/kg/day) or vehicle from GD 0 through GD 19. 1.25 µmol/kg (2 µCi/kg) of 3H AA and 14C DHA were injected to dams from tail vein at GD20. 3 hr later, fetal tissues were collected and amounts of radioactivity (AA and DHA and any potential metabolites) were determined. Data shown were means ± SD, n =3 or 4. *, p<0.05; **, p<0.01, ***, p<0.001.
