Results represent mean ± SEM. The sample size is in parentheses

The Exposed groups are compared against PBS during “Exposed,” while the Recovery groups are compared against the same treatment group from “Exposed.” Significance: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001

M male, F female

^aThe body weights presented were collected on study day 91 during “Exposed” and study day 138 during “Recovery.”
