Effects of hTRX-1 overexpression: growth morphometry of WT and hTRX-1 Tg fetuses on embryonic d 15
| WT (n = 15) | Tg (n = 10) | |
|---|---|---|
| Fetal weight (mg) | 370.3 ± 17.1 | 447.3 ± 26.3a |
| Placental weight (mg) | 86.8 ± 0.8 | 87.2 ± 1.5 |
| Fetal to placental weight ratios | 4.3 ± 0.2 | 5.2 ± 0.3a |
The litter was considered an experimental unit in the statistical analyses. Therefore, the averages of fetal and placental weights for the litter were calculated. Data are presented as means ± sem and compared statistically using the unpaired Student’s t test. n, Number of pregnant mice.

Statistically different from WT mice (P < 0.05).
