Body weight and gonads weight in male mice at PND 35.

<p>Maternal mice were injected with LPS (50 µg/kg, i.p.) daily from gestational day (GD) 13 to GD18. Within 24 h after birth, excess pups were removed, so that four males and four females were kept per dam. At postnatal day (PND) 21, pups were separated from the siblings and housed five to a cage. Some males each group were sacrificed on PND 35. Testes, prostates plus seminal vesicles were collected from male offsprings. (A) Body weight in male offspring was recorded from PND 4, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35. (B) Testes and prostates plus seminal vesicles were weighed separately on PND 35. Data were expressed as means ± SEM of twelve samples from six litters. *<i>P</i><0.05, **<i>P</i><0.01 as compared with controls.
