Therapeutic regimen. Animals were treated with NAC or NAC+BMT as described in materials and methods. NAC was provided to experimental animals in the drinking water throughout life. This included the breeding pairs pre- and post-natally and through weaning. In addition to NAC drinking water, all experimental animals received bolus ip injections of NAC starting on PND 5 and continuing three times per week through the life of the animal. BMTs were performed on PND 2–4.
