Figure 3From: Antenatal exposure of maternal secondhand smoke (SHS) increases fetal lung expression of RAGE and induces RAGE-mediated pulmonary inflammationPups from SHS exposed dams were noticeably smaller. Measurement of total body weights revealed that SHS-exposed wild type pups were significantly decreased compared to age-matched pups from dams exposed to room air during gestation. SHS-exposed RAGE KO pup weights were not significantly decreased when compared to age-matched RAGE KO pups exposed to room air. Furthermore, wild type pups + SHS animals were significantly smaller than RAGE KO + SHS animals. *Statistical difference (P ≤0.05) with at least nine pups per group.Back to article page
