Figure 1.

Effect of fetal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) at 5 to 50 000 µg/kg/d or diethylstilbestrol (DES) at 0.1 µg/kg/d as a result of feeding the chemicals to pregnant CD-1 mice from gestation day (GD) 9 to 18. The data are the mean (±standard error of the mean [SEM]) gonadal adipocyte number in male offspring from different prenatal treatment groups when 19 weeks old. The statistical analyses are presented in Table 2. Groups with just the letter “b” are significantly different from negative controls. The BPA 50 000 dose did not result in any significant effects.
