Overall swimming performance and thigmotactic behavior of male and female offspring prenatally exposed to peanut oil or chlorpyrifos (CPF).

Peanut Oil
CPF
Male Female Male Female
Total distance (m) 37.30 ± 0.49 36.67 ± 0.66 36.15 ± 0.67 35.8 ± 0.68
% Time in wall zone 23.3% ± 2.8*, 33.5% ± 2.2 35.1% ± 3.3 35.7% ± 3.5
% Distance in wall zone 21.3% ± 2.8* 29.6% ± 2.0 31.4% ± 3.1 32.6% ± 3.2

Thigmotactic behavior was defined as the percentage of time and the percentage of distance animals swam in a 20 cm-wide zone from the wall of the pool. Results are presented as mean ± SEM of measures obtained during the first probe test from the same animals as in Fig. 4. According to the random effect ANOVA model followed by Tukey-Krammer post-hoc test for pairwise comparisons:

*

p < 0.05 (peanut oil-exposed males compared to peanut oil-exposed females);

p < 0.05 (peanut oil-exposed males compared to CPF-exposed males).
