Effect of maternal stress on offspring allergy phenotype. Following the intentionally suboptimal protocol, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) total cell counts and eosinophils were increased in offspring of stressed mothers compared with nonstressed mothers (n ≥ 6/group, *P < 0.05, A and B). Cell counts and eosinophils were similar in the experimental group and the positive control group (P > 0.05). Following the intentionally suboptimal protocol, BAL total cell counts and eosinophils were increased in offspring of dexamethasone-injected mothers compared with vehicle-injected mothers (n ≥ 16/group, *P < 0.05, C and D). Total cell counts and eosinophil counts were similar in the experimental dexamethasone (Dex) group and positive control group (P > 0.05).
