  1. Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD).
  2. ND = nondiabetic rats exposed to filtered air, D = diabetic rats exposed to filtered air; DS = diabetic rats exposed to cigarette smoke prior to and during pregnancy; DSPP = diabetic rats only exposed to cigarette smoke prior to pregnancy.
  3. * p < 0.05 - significant statistically difference as compared to ND group; #p < 0.05 - significant statistically difference as compared to D group. aZero - Inflated Poisson; bNormal distribution (Tukey Multiple Comparison test), and cGamma distribution.
