Lead Exposure Group | Blood Lead Levels (µg/dL)* | Body Weight (grams)* | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Males | Females | Males | Females | |
0 ppm | 0.31 ± 0.02 | 0.02 ± 0.00 | 15.14 ± 1.09 | 14.33 ± 0.15 |
30 ppm | 3.10 ± 0.57 | 2.63 ± 0.25 | 12.81 ± 0.90 | 11.82 ± 0.91 |
330 ppm | 15.21 ± 3.86 | 12.92 ± 1.00 | 14.27 ± 1.59 | 12.46 ± 1.85 |
In mixed model analyses with litter included as a random effect, BLL was predicted by exposure group, and not by sex or the interaction of group × sex; body weight was marginally predicted by sex (t = 1.97, p = .06), and not by BLL or the interaction of BLL × sex.
