Figure 3From: Prenatal testosterone-induced fetal growth restriction is associated with down-regulation of rat placental amino acid transportPlacental amino acid and glucose transport capacity in control and TP dams. Placental Transport of (A) 3-O-methyl-D-[3H]glucose (MG) or (B) [14C]methylaminoisobutyric acid (MeAIB) to the fetus at GD 21. TP was administered prenatally (0.5 mg/kg; gestational days 15-19) and placental uptake (placental (dpm) per gram placenta), placental transport to the fetus (fetal dpm per gram fetus) and placental transport capacity (fetal dpm per gram placenta) of MG or MeAIB are expressed for the TP (n = 6) group in relation to control (n = 6) where control values are arbitrarily assigned a value of 1. Values are given as means ± S.E.M. *P < 0.05 vs controls.Back to article page
