Figure Lengend Snippet: Offspring brain glutathione protein levels in Groups 1–5. NEC pups had significantly decreased brain glutathione levels as compared with control pups; NAC to pregnant dams, offspring, or both dams and offspring significantly increased offspring brain glutathione levels as compared with NEC pups. CTL, NEC, NEC-NAC, NAC-NEC and NAC-NEC-NAC. *Significant difference (P < 0.05) from NEC. # Significant difference (P < 0.05) from NAC-NEC. ~ Significant difference (P < 0.05) from NAC-NEC-NAC. NAC N -acetyl cysteine, NEC necrotizing enterocolitis.
