Subject Profile of animals exposed to ethanol in utero. The period of exposure was calculated retrospectively from date of birth. Total ethanol exposure and average exposure are based on the amount the dam drank during pregnancy and her body weight before pregnancy. Blood ethanol content (BEC) was measured 3–4 times during the alcohol exposure period for each dam and averaged.
