Placental weight and newborn body weight and fasting blood glucose and plasma insulin levels in baboons

Treatment	Placental wt (gm)	Body wt (gm)	Glucose (mg/dl)	Insulin (μIU/ml)
Untreated	183 ± 9	810 ± 27	74 ± 6	3.7 ± 0.3
Letrozole	207 ± 16*	790 ± 62	70 ± 8	4.1 ± 0.4
Letrozole + estradiol	176 ± 12	767 ± 59	75 ± 7	3.9 ± 0.7

Values are expressed as means ± SE on the day of delivery (days 165–175 of gestation) in newborns from baboons untreated (n=10) or treated on days 100–165/175 of gestation (term = 184 days) with letrozole (115 μg/kg body weight/day via maternal sc injection, n=5) or letrozole (115 μg/kg body weight) plus estradiol (25 to 115 μg/kg body weight/day, n=4).

^*P<0.05 versus untreated.
