The PBDE-209 Exposure during Pregnancy and Lactation Impairs Immune Function in Rats

<table>We measured the percentage of T lymphocytes in blood of exposed Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats using flow cytometric analysis. Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation, and are representative of two separate experiments with twenty rats per group in each experiment. <svg height="17.825001" id="M21" style="vertical-align:-3.276pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 69.150002 17.825001" width="69.150002" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
