Figure 1

Effect of foetal exposure to di(n-butyl) phthalate (DBP; 500 mg/kg/day), on germ-cell (GC) number at various foetal and early postnatal ages in the rat; lower right panel shows the GC number at each age as a percentage of the respective age-matched control in relation to periods of GC proliferative activity. Note that DBP treatment ceased 24 h before the indicated day of foetal sampling or, in the case of postnatal sampling, on e21.5. Values are means ± SEM for 4–10 animals from 4 to 6 litters at each age. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, in comparison with the respective control.
