Fig. 1. Maternal hypoxia decreased expression of GR protein and mRNA in the rat fetal heart.
Hearts were isolated from E21 fetuses from pregnant rats treated with normoxia control or hypoxia at 10.5% O2 from day 15 to day 21 of gestation. (A) GR protein abundance was determined using Western blot analysis. (B) GR mRNA abundance was determined by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Data are mean ± SEM, n = 5. * P < 0.05, hypoxia vs. control.
