Mean +/− SEM time spent (seconds) in different parts of the elevated plus maze and number of crosses. Mice were exposed to BPA or control diet and reared by biological dams, then tested both as juveniles and in adulthood (Control Adults: 7 males and 16 females, BPA adults: 12 males and 6 females, Control Juveniles: 11 males and 9 females, BPA juveniles: 7 males and 9 females). A) * Adult mice exposed to BPA in utero spent significantly less time than adult controls in the distal portion of the open arms (p<0.05). # Adult males spent more time in the distal open arms than juvenile males (p<0.04). B) ## Adults, particularly males (** p<0.02), crossed through the middle of the EPM more frequently than juveniles (p<0.0001). C) ## Adults spent more time in the open arms than juveniles (p<0.0001). D) ## Adults spent less time in the middle of the EPM than juveniles (p<0.0001).
