Body weight changes in rats exposed to CD gas. Arrows represent the end of the exposure period and the start of the recovery period. (A); Males, and (B); females. Symbols (open square: control; open circle: 0.05 ppm, and closed circle: 0.1 ppm) show the mean body weight and error bars represent the standard deviation. The body weight of animals was measured once weekly. The number of rats for calculating mean ± standard deviations was 16 during the exposure period and 6 during the recovery period. There was no statistically significant change observed between the CD gas-exposed group and the control group throughout the study period.
