(I.G.) for 4 weeks with or without 75mg/kg CY I.P. weekly. 8 weeks<br />

following the final treatment, mice were harem-bred with proven male<br />

breeders. Mice were given up to 8 weeks to breed and give birth. Infertility<br />

was defined as no sign of pregnancy by 8 weeks in a harem-breeding cage<br />

with a fertile male partner. The following data were recorded: number of<br />

pups, percent of living pups, weight, and days from male interaction to birth.<br />

Data analysis was performed using student’s t-test (n¼5 mice/group, mean <br />

SEM, Prism 6.0f). A power calculation determined that four female mice per<br />

treatment group would provide 80% power to detect a 50% difference in litter<br />

size with an alpha of 0.05.<br />

RESULTS: 40% of CY-treated mice were infertile, and CY-treated mice<br />

had significantly fewer pups per litter compared to control (3.4 1.7<br />

[n¼17 pups] vs. 8.8 0.5 [n¼44 pups] respectively, P
