Fig. 2

In utero SHS exposure significantly increased mean linear intercept (Lm) and decreased the surface area per unit volume (SApUV) of the lungs in both males and females. a) Data are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) (n = 5 per group). * p < 0.05 statistically different from the respective control group. b) 10× magnification of representative trichrome-stained slides of lung tissue of mice show that in utero SHS increases alveolar airspace of the lungs. AM: in utero air-exposed male mice; SM: in utero SHS-exposed male mice; AF: in utero air-exposed female mice; SF: in utero SHS- exposed female mice
