Fetal body weight (g) and organ absolute weight (g) and relative to body weight ratio. Uteroplacental efficiency was calculated and fetal body weight to uteroplacental weight. Growth symmetry was calculated as brain/liver weight. Values are means ± SEM. Significant difference (P ≤ 0.05): a vs. LA; Student's t test for all variables.
