Fig. 6.
Maternal behaviors in sevoflurane-treated parous dams were normal. The aspects of maternal behaviors were assessed on the day of parturition. Same sets of mice were used in all tests shown in figure 6 (parous control dams, n = 11; sevoflurane-treated parous dams, n = 10). (A) The ratio of pups with or without milk in the digestive tract. (B) The ratio of cleaned or poorly cleaned pups. (C) The nest quality scores (grade 0–3). (D) Percentage of scattered pups outside of the nest. (E) Time spent crouching over the pups in the nest.
