Figure 4. Enzymatic activities of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in placentas on GD 94.

Figure 4

Sows were fed diets with adequate (AP, 12.1%), high (HP, 30%) and low (LP, 6.5%) protein concentrations throughout gestation and the enzymatic activities of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11β-HSD) in placentas from the fetal implantation site were measured on GD 94. Values are LS means + SE. The maternal diets had no effect on the NADP+-dependent (NADP+; AP, n = 13; HP, n = 14; LP, n = 16) or NAD+-dependent 11β-HSD dehydrogenase activity (NAD+; AP, n = 17; HP, n = 16; LP, n = 17) as well as on the NADPH-dependent 11β-HSD reductase activity (NADP; AP, n = 15; HP, n = 16; LP, n = 17).
