Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) eosinophil percentages (left) and counts (right) in the F1, F2, and F3 generation offspring of DEP-exposed (DEP) and PBS-exposed control (Neg Ctrl) mothers, as well as positive control asthmatic mice of the same age that received a dual intraperitoneal OVA sensitization protocol (Pos Ctrl). In F3, the four litters of the DEP group are shown separately to illustrate the variability in transmission of the phenotype. We tested multiple litters using from each litter n = 4–6 pups, for a total N behind each bar in the chart to be 6–10 (varies with birth rate and technical issues). *P < 0.05.
