Skeletal muscle 6.8 ± 2.4 4.2 ± 2.1 2.0 ± 0.6
White adipose tissue 3.2 ± 1.3 1.3 ± 0.3 1.3 ± 0.8
Placenta - 4.8 ± 1.9 5.4 ± 1.2
Fetus - 3.5 ± 1.8 1.7 ± 0.3

Data are expressed as mean ± SEM for non-pregnant females (n=7) and pregnant dams/litters (D16 n=5, D19 n=6 with 2 conceptuses per litter).

Significantly different from the other tissues at this stage of pregnancy (p<0.01, one-way ANOVA).
