From: Lithium administered to pregnant, lactating and neonatal rats: entry into developing brain
Concentrations of lithium in plasma and CSF. A. Plasma (same data as Fig. 1A). B. CSF and C. CSF/plasma ratios (%) of P4 rats administered lithium 3.2, 6.4 or 16 mg/kg body weight via i.p. injection. Note values are from LA-ICP-MS measurements, each dot in A and B represents an individual animal. CSF/plasma ratios (%) are calculated for each animal. Means ± SD. Differences in mean CSF/plasma ratios for different doses of lithium were not statistically significant, p = 0.05. Concentration of lithium in un-injected rats (P4): 4-13 µM. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001
