Chemical Consumption (mg BPB/kg BW/day) During Gestation and Lactation.
1500 ppm | 5000 ppm | 15,000 ppm | |
---|---|---|---|
GD 6–21 | 106.0 ± 1.3 | 360.3 ± 4.9 | 1217.8 ± 27.9 |
PND 1–16 | 240.1 ± 10.3 | 728.6 ± 53.7 | 2477.8 ± 40.2 |
PND 1–28 | 339.2 ± 20.6 | 1224.5 ± 29.7 | 3493.8 ± 55.8 |
Average chemical intake ± SEM during gestation (GD 6–21) and lactation (PND 1–16, 1–28) based on cage food consumption. Note: dam weight was used to calculate food or chemical consumption per weight and values after PND 16 may be an overestimate. The number of dams/litters per group ranges from 22 to 33 depending on time point. BPB in the 0 ppm diet was below the limit of detection (6 ppm).
