Figure 2.
Effect of daily manganese (Mn) supplementation on the age at vaginal opening (VO) following short term ALC exposure.
The same four treatment groups of animals as described in Figure 1 were used except the animals were maintained on their diet and treatments until VO occurred. The only exception was the ALC+SAL group, as these animals did not show VO until after the ALC was removed from their diet on day 42. Note that animals in the ALC+Mn group showed a marked amelioration of the delay in VO. a vs b, p< 0.01; a vs c and d, p< 0.001; b vs c and d, p< 0.001; d vs c, p<0.01. N=8-10 rats per group.
