Effects of exposure to constant light during late gestation on plasma DHAS and cortisol concentrations (μg/mL; mean ± SEM) immediately after birth and at one month of age.

	DHAS		Cortisol
Age/Groups	Control	LL	Control	LL
Birth	1.74 ± 0.46	0.38 ± 0.17	2.31 ± 0.29	4.34 ± 0.45
1 month	0.25 ± 0.01^&	0.01 ± 0.0	0.30 ± 0.04^&	0.28 ± 0.09^&

Control, newborns, and infants from mothers maintained in 14:10 light:dark cycle (n=4).
LL, newborns, and infants from mothers maintained with lights continuously on from about 100 days of gestation to delivery (n=4).
Different to control newborn/infant (P<0.05 Student’s t-test).
