Milk-borne PFOAa as a percentage of dam serum concentrations over lactation.

PFOA = perfluorooctanoic acid, GD = gestational day, PND = postnatal day. The milk:serum PFOA ratio reported above was calculated as: [concentration of milk PFOA/concentration of serum PFOA] × 100 = % milk:serum for each dam within a dose group. These values were averaged and reported above.
