Figure 1. Effects of Hypoxia and Litter Size on Body and Muscle Mass.

Figure 1

a) Both large litter size in normoxia (Gr – Grey Column) and exposure to hypoxia (Hx – Hatched Column) (litter size 4) resulted in depressed body mass relative to pups maintained in normoxia (Nc - White Column) (litter size 4) at 21 days postpartum in rats. b) The relative mass of the leg muscle Medial Gastrocnemius and the concentration of RNA in that muscle were depressed at 21 days post partum in the Hx neonates. The left three columns are data from female rats, the right 3 columns are data from the male rats. N ≥ 7 *, P<0.05 vs. Nc; §, P<0.05 vs. Gr.
