Adult female CD-1 mice were orally dosed for 10 days with either vehicle control (corn oil), DEHP (20 µg/kg/day–200 mg/kg/day), or DiNP (20 µg/kg/day–200 mg/kg/day). Females were euthanized in diestrus either immediately post-dosing (n = 6–12 mice/group), 3 months post-dosing (n = 5–12 mice/group), or 9 months post-dosing (n = 4–12 mice/group) and body weight and organ weights were measured. Data are represented as means ± SE. Statistically significant difference when compared with control (p ≤ .05) is denoted with an asterisk (*). Borderline statistical significance (.05 < p ≤ .10) is denoted with a caret (^).
