|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Offspring | PD (days) | CN | HFA | CN | HFA |
| Mass of pancreas (g) | 53 | 0.13 ± 0.01 | 0.17 ± 0.02 ∗ | 0.13 ± 0.02 | 0.14 ± 0.01 |
| Mass of liver (g) | 53 | 0.97 ± 0.04 | 0.93 ± 0.08 | 0.56 ± 0.15 | 0.74 ± 0.04 |
Offspring organ masses were recorded. Values are mean ± SEM for 10 mice. The mass of pancreas of HFA mice were heavier than CN mice by using Student’s t-test (∗P < 0.05). CN, control; HFA, high-folic acid; GD, gestational day; PD, postnatal day.
