Effect of perinatal ethanol exposure on offspring body weight at experimental age. When reaching early adulthood, males weighed significantly more than females and therefore their weights were analyzed separately. There were no significant effects of perinatal condition on body weight in either males or females (see text for statistical details). Results are expressed as means ± SEM. Results are considered statistically significant if p < 0.05.

	Weight (g)	Male	Female
Ad libitum	--	413.1 ± 6.2	271.5 ± 14.3
Ethanol-exposed	1st	417.5 ± 5.2	281.1 ± 11.4
	2nd	400.0 ± 7.0	267.0 ± 6.1
	3rd	408.4 ± 4.7	257.1 ± 5.4
Pair-fed	1st	413.0 ± 1.6	263.1 ± 3.0
	2nd	413.2 ± 3.4	269.7 ± 4.0
	3rd	421.6 ± 4.1	272.1 ± 5.7
