From: In utero exposure to a low concentration of diesel exhaust affects spontaneous locomotor activity and monoaminergic system in male mice

Figure 1

Effect of prenatal exposure to diesel exhaust on spontaneous locomotor activity (SLA) in mice. Each group contained 10 mice. (A) During the initial 60 minutes acclimating to the novel environment, the mice exposed prenatally to diesel exhaust showed lower SLA than the control group. (B) Throughout the testing period, the mice of the exposure group showed lower daily SLA than those of the control group. (C) SLA in each 3 hour period was altered in diesel exhaust-exposed mice. Post hoc analysis revealed that SLA was decreased at some time points. All data are presented as mean ± SEM. The level of statistical significance was set at * P < 0.05.
