a

Data in this table reflect the same studies referenced in Table 1, although the sequence has been changed.

b

wt, Weight.

c

Body weight/body weight gain during intervals leading up to PPS (e.g., PND 35–45).

1 = Statistically significant difference in treated group(s) compared with concurrent controls; 0 = no difference between treated and control groups.

d

SV w/CG, seminal vesicles with coagulating glands.

e

LABC, levator ani-bulbocavernosus muscles.

f

Histopathology results for thyroid, testis, epididymis, and kidney were qualitative; therefore, 1 = treatment-related difference and 0 = no difference from controls.
