Figure 8:

Effects of prenatal exposure to the phthalate mixture on the anti-apoptotic factor Bcl2 (panel A: control = 5 females/treatment group, 20 µg/kg/day = 5 females/treatment group, 200 µg/kg/day = 4 females/treatment group, 200 mg/kg/day = 5 females/treatment group) and the pro-apoptotic factor Bax (panel B: control = 5 females/treatment group, 20 µg/kg/day = 4 females/treatment group, 200 µg/kg/day = 4 females/treatment group, 200 mg/kg/day = 5 females/treatment group) in ovaries from mice at 13 months of age in the F1 generation. All gene expression is relative to the housekeeping gene, Actb, and the relative fold change is normalized to 1 for control. Graphs represent means ± SEM. Carets (^{^}) indicate borderline significance compared to the control (0.05 < P < 0.1)
