Fetal Liver Nonheme Iron in Nonrestricted and Uterine Space Restricted groups at GD120 and GD130

	120 Days Gestation		130 Days Gestation
	Nonrestricted (n=6)	Restricted (n=6)	Nonrestricted (n=7)	Restricted (n=7)
μg/g wet weight	7.18 ± 1.04	6.18 ± 0.95	8.36 ± 0.36^†	8.36 ± 1.00
Total μg	780.0 ± 153.6	656.8 ± 110.9	1029.0 ± 158.1^†	655.3 ± 136.0^‡
μg/kg proportional to fetal weight	268.8 ± 43.6	222.7 ± 36.3	235.7 ± 17.3	220.7 ± 30.0

Data are Means ± SEM; n, number of fetuses. Superscripts compare nonrestricted and uterine space restricted within each gestational day (GD) and between GD.
