Gestational Exposure to Low Dose Bisphenol A Alters Social Behavior in Juvenile Mice
Figure 1
Mean +/- SEM behaviors displayed during a reciprocal social interaction task.
Juvenile male and female mice were exposed to control (phytoestrogen-free chow, black histograms, n = 15 males and n = 13 females) or BPA supplemented chow (gray histograms, n = 21 males and n = 18 females) during gestation. A) Total amount of time in seconds spent exploring the cage. B) Duration of side by side sitting (seconds). C) Amount of time spent self grooming (seconds). D) Duration of side by side interactions (seconds). * Sex effect; males are significantly different from females, p<0.05. # Significantly different from control females, p<0.05.
