Table 2.

Difference in means of total tissue area (T.Ar) between male and females offspring from GW3 mothers and control mothers.

Age in weeks	4	8	12	16
Difference in T.Ar between male and female offspring from both GW3 and Control mothers	0.07 (n=12)	2.12*** (n=21)	2.18*** (n=20)	2.35*** (n=26)
Difference in T.Ar between male and female in GW3 offspring	0.46 (n=7)	2.05*** (n=13)	2.89*** (n=8)	2.65* (n=8)
Difference in T.Ar between male and female Control offspring	0.41 (n=5)	2.34* (n=8)	1.61* (n=12)	2.19** (n=18)

T.Ar = tissue area; GW3 = gestation week 3;

^*= p < 0.05;

^**= p < 0.01;

^***= p < 0.001
