Table 1.
Mean (±SEM) maternal and pup weight gain (g) for dams and offspring, respectively. The dams were injected with IV nicotine or saline, 3X/day on GD 8–21, and were weighed on GD 0, 7, 14, and 21, and pups were weighed on PND 1, 7, 14, and 21. There were no significant differences for maternal or pup weight gain.
