Values are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 6, *P < 0.05 compared with group I (control); +P < 0.05 compared with group II; **P < 0.05 compared with group III; #P > 0.05 compared with group I. Mc = male control; Mt = male test, exposed to gasoline vapors only; MvitA = male test treated with vitamin A; MvitE = male test treated with vitamin E.
