Panel A: Group mean ± S.E. body weight (gm) of female and male mice (n = 12/group) exposed to filtered air or Fe + SO2 over the course of exposure and in adulthood. * = Significant reductions ranging from 14 to 23% occurred in Fe + SO2 females, whereas differences in males were not statistically significant. Panel B: Group mean ± S.E. body weight (gm) at postnatal day 14 of female and male mice (n = 12/group) exposed to filtered air or Fe only. Panel C: Group mean ± S.E. changes in LDH (lactate dehydrogenase; nm/min/mg) and protein levels (ug/ml) in lung of male and female air versus Fe + SO2 treated mice showed no evident differences (n = 2/group)
