Placental and fetal body weights and placental blood vessel density in baboons.
Treatment | N | Placental weight | Fetal body weight (g) |
No. blood vessels/mm2 (g) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Untreated | 7 | 31.7 ± 1.2 | 12.5 ± 0.5 | 493 ± 34 |
Androstenedione | 7 | 25.1 ± 2.8 | 11.0 ± 1.3 | 743 ±27* |
Mean ± SE placental and fetal body weights and placental villous blood vessel density (as reported in our previous study, Albrecht et al., 2004) on day 60 of gestation in baboons untreated or treated daily on days 25-59 of gestation with androstenedione.
Values different (P<0.01) than in untreated baboons (Student's t test).
