FIG. 1.
CAPs exposure during pregnancy does not induce overt maternal toxicity or alter reproductive success. (A) Average CAPs exposure levels were 92.69 ± 19.16 μg/m3 (mean ± SD; squares) as compared to 3.52 ± 0.87μg/m3 for FA controls (circles) as determined by weighing particles on pre-weighed Teflon filters. (B) Dam weights (mean ± SEM) were taken daily throughout the course of exposures. (C) Reproductive success was not altered by CAPs exposure, as measured by litter size, birth weights, or crown-rump length at birth. Reproductive success data represent mean ± SEM; N = 16 dams.
