Comparative growth of nicotine-exposed and/or maternally deprived rat pups from P2–P70.

<p>The weight trend of male (A, B) and female (C, D) pups from P2–P24 (A, C) and P24–P70 (B, D) is shown. In E, animals were exposed to prenatal and postnatal nicotine (PP-NIC) until P21 when they were weaned. MD and MD+NIC significantly reduced animal weight, in the P2–P24 groups compared to CTLs.
