Figure 3. Maternal metformin initiation and use during pregnancy reduces fetal visceral and body weight.
Fetuses were delivered via Cesarean at G145 (n=2–4/group) and (A) fetal weight and fetal organ and tissue weights were measured (B-F). Fetal crown-rump length (CRL) (F) and biparietal diameter (BPD) (G) were also directly measured. Results analysed by two-way ANOVA. Main effects and measure of significance shown by p value. Males are represented as triangles, females as circles. Means −/+ SD are shown. Chow diet (CD, white bars) or Western style diet (WSD, grey bars).
