6BN prevents the increase in cortisol by prenatal MTD.

6BN treatment	Cortisol (ng/ml)
0	1,399
0.075	1,094
0.3	859 a
Saline ctl	958 b

All pups treated with prenatal MTD (5 or 7 mg/kg) for 15 days with 6BN at the indicated dose, or with saline (no MTD, no 6BN); n = 5 pups from 3 litters per group = 3 pups at 5 mg/kg MTD and two pups at 7 mg/kg MTD in each group. F(2,12) = 9.34, p = 0.0036 for overall effect of 6BN, by ANOVA.

^bp < 0.05, by t-test.

^ap < 0.01 by Dunnett’s posthoc analysis, all comparisons to 0 6BN condition.
