Effects of in utero exposure to inorganic arsenic on adult body fat composition, plasma leptin levels and glucose tolerance. (A, B & C) Body composition analysis was performed using a PIXImus scan on 4–5 month-old male offspring (control: n = 8; 10 ppb: n = 10; 42.5 ppm: n = 16). (D) Serum leptin concentrations were measured at 6 months (control: n = 6; 10 ppb: n = 6; 42.5 ppm: n = 6). (E) Serum glucose concentrations of 5 month-old male offspring were measure following overnight fasting and glucose challenge (control: n = 11; 10 ppb: n = 19; 42.5 ppm: n = 16). (F) Area under the curve of serum glucose concentration of 5 month-old male offspring. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Significant differences are represented by different symbols (*: P < 0.05 between control and 10 ppb; +: P < 0.05 between control and 42.5 ppm; #: P < 0.05 between 10 ppb and 42.5 ppm).
