  1. Values are expressed as a mean of eight offspring ± SEM
  2. N: normal offspring given deionized H2O throughout the pre- and postnatal periods until 70 days old
  3. FPP: offspring exposed to NaF throughout pre- and postnatal periods until 70 days old
  4. FP: offspring exposed to NaF throughout the prenatal and up to the end of weaning stages
  5. APP: offspring exposed to AlCl3 throughout pre- and postnatal periods until 70 days old
  6. AP: offspring exposed to AlCl3 throughout the prenatal and up to the end of weaning stages
  7. FAPP: offspring exposed to NaF + AlCl3 throughout pre- and postnatal periods until 70 days old
  8. FAP: offspring exposed to NaF + AlCl3 throughout the prenatal and up to the end weaning stages
  9. a,b,c,d,e,f: Significant difference in comparison with the corresponding N, FPP, FP, APP, AP, FAPP, and FAP groups at α = 0.05 (P < 0.05)
