Organ weight and hematocrit on GD20.
| Parameter | CON (n = 13) | 2 g STS (n = 9) | 3 g STS (n = 8) | p-Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Relative heart weight (%) | 0.34 ± 0.004 | 0.35 ± 0.01 | 0.33 ± 0.01 | 0.28 |
| Relative splenic weight (%) | 0.28 ± 0.01 | 0.30 ± 0.01 | 0.31 ± 0.01 | 0.07 |

STS dose in grams STS per kg body weight per day. The p-value from one-way ANOVA is provided with similar superscripted letters indicating which treatment groups was significantly different from the control group in Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test. Data presented as mean ± S.E.M. CON, control; GD, gestational day; STS, sodium thiosulfate.
