Iron deficiency in pregnancy: Influence on sleep, behavior, and molecular markers of adult male offspring

“…The variables analyzed were total ambulation (total number of squares entered), grooming time (face and body washing), and freezing time (immobility).All procedures were performed in water maintained at 31 ± 1℃ and individually, with swimming tanks divided by cylindrical PVC tubes with 30 cm in diameter. The animals were progressively subjected to procedures for adaptation to the liquid medium for 14 consecutive days (with 70 days old), described byFranco et al (2020). These 14 sessions aim only at adapting to the liquid environment, thermal stress, handling and loads to which the animal will remain tied,not aiming at improving physical condition (training).…”
