FIG. 7.

Maternal exposure to BPA did not adversely affect airway hyperresponsiveness measurements of lung resistance (A) or elastance (B) in adult female offspring. Pressure measurements, postbaseline, were obtained in response to airway challenge with saline and increasing concentrations of aerosolized methacholine using a jet nebulizer. Resistance and elastance measurements to describe overall airway function were derived from the pressure measurements. Data are expressed as mean value for each group + SEM from 4–5 mice per group. *p ≤ 0.05 between mice of the same sensitization/challenge group, but different maternal BPA exposure dose.
