Figure 2. Body weight (g) for male and female offspring from postnatal days 10–19.

Figure 2

A–B Males. C–D Females. Rats were prenatally exposed to either lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on G15–16, propionic acid (PPA) on G12–16, or their respective phosphate buffered saline controls (2VEH and 5VEH). Postnatal drug treatment, either PPA or VEH, was administered 2x/day every other day from P10–18. Males receiving postnatal PPA weighed significantly more than postnatal VEH treated males in the prenatal 2VEH (2VEH-VEH vs. 2VEH-PPA in Panel 1A) and prenatal PPA groups (PPA-VEH vs. PPA-PPA in Panel 1B), ps <0.05. Females receiving postnatal PPA weighed significantly less than postnatal VEH treated females (general effect, p<0.05). Error bars represent S.E.M. Refer to Table 1 for group designations and sample sizes.
