The expression of mRNA for molecules associated with fetal growth in the fetal liver
| WT | Tg | P value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| IGF-I | 0.48 ± 0.03 | 0.52 ± 0.08 | 0.67 |
| IGF-II | 0.14 ± 0.01 | 0.13 ± 0.01 | 0.83 |
| IGFBP-1 | 0.18 ± 0.04 | 0.32 ± 0.09 | 0.20 |
| IGFBP-2 | 0.023 ± 0.004 | 0.036 ± 0.010 | 0.26 |
| GLUT-1 | 0.14 ± 0.01 | 0.15 ± 0.01 | 0.69 |
| GLUT-2 | 0.15 ± 0.02 | 0.19 ± 0.03 | 0.18 |
Quantitative RT-PCR data are presented as mean ± sem (arbitrary units) of seven independent dams for both WT and Tg mice. The expression levels were normalized to those of acidic ribosomal phosphoprotein P0 (36B4) RNA.
