Grouping of the experimental animals. Effects of astaxanthin treatment on the adult mice prenatally exposed to either LPS or saline (control). Swiss albino mice were either treated withwater for injection (100 µl, saline, n = 6) or LPS (300 µg/kg, body weight) via intraperitoneal route at ED 16 and ED 17. Offspring male animals were randomly selected and further grouped into four on postnatal day (PD) 90 as- (i) control_saline (100 μl saline, n = 10), (ii) control_AST (astaxanthin, n = 10), (iii) LPS (100 μl saline,n = 10) and (iv) LPS_AST (astaxanthin,n = 10). The treatment was given for 6 weeks (PD 91–132). On PD 133 open field test was conducted followed by tail suspension and hole-board test. At the end of the behavioral test, animals were sacrificed to collect tissue
