Consequences of RU exposure on the metabolism of offspring. (A) Analysis of RU and CT chicks’ food consumption at postnatal Days (PND) 5 and 10. Average food consumption per pen (g/day) was determined. Stars (*) correspond to the unpaired t-test significance (p < 0.05). (B) Body weight (g) of RU (n = 118) and CT chicks (n = 109) at birth and on PND 5 and 10 (g). Stars (*) correspond to the unpaired t-test significance (p < 0.05). **** p < 0.0001. (C) Average daily gain (g/day) for CT (n = 109) and RU chicks (n = 118) on PND 5 and 10. Stars (**) correspond to the unpaired t-test significance (p < 0.01), *** p < 0.001. (D) Evaluation of the ratio between the digestive tract weight and the body weight of CT chicks (n = 10) and RU chicks (n = 10) at birth and on PND 5 and 10 (%). Stars (*) correspond to the unpaired t-test significance (p < 0.05). (E) Evaluation of the ratio between subcutaneous adipose tissue weight and body weight of CT chicks (n = 10, 5 males and 5 females) and RU chicks (n = 10, 5 males and 5 females) at birth and on PND 5 and 10. Stars (**) correspond to the unpaired t-test significance (p < 0.01).
