Figure 1From: Maternal nutrient restriction and the fetal left ventricle: Decreased angiotensin receptor expressionAmount of VEGF mRNA relative to β-actin mRNA in the LV of 78 dGA fetuses as determined by ribonuclease protection assay. Inset picture depicts representative results of RT-PCR reactions for VEGF165 and VEGF189 run on a 1% agarose gel. NR (■, n = 6) fetuses exhibited increased VEGF transcript in the LV compared to C (□, n = 6) fetuses. *P < 0.05.Back to article page
