Effects of prenatal ethanol exposure on body growth, motor performance, and brain weight. Pregnant Long Evans rats were chronically fed with isocaloric liquid diets containing 0% or 24% ethanol. (A) Mean body weights, (B) brain weights, and (C) calculated brain weight/body weight ratios were determined on P30. The Student t-test was used to analyze data in Panels A–C. On P16, the rats were subjected to Rotarod testing with 10 incremental speed trials. Data from Trials (D) 1–4, (E) 5–7, and (F) 8–10 were culled and analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. Significant inter-group differences are shown above the graphs.
