Figure 1. BPA, EE and dietary effects on juvenile Wistar rat Light/Dark Box activity.

Figure 1

No significant effect of gender was identified, therefore the data were collapsed across sexes. Animals maintained on the soy-based diet are depicted in gray and animals maintained on the soy-free diet are depicted in black. (A) BPA and EE exposure significantly decreased the percent of animals entering the lit chamber compared to controls on the same diet (Soy-free). (B) BPA exposure significantly increased latency to enter the lit chamber compared to the Soy-free controls. (C) Animals exposed to BPA and maintained on the soy-free diet spent significantly less time in the lit chamber than the Soy-free controls, and also the BPA-exposed animals maintained on the soy-based diet (BPA + Soy). Graphs depict mean ± SEM, *P≤0.05.
