Fetal liver insulin-like growth factor mRNA concentrations

	Fetal Liver
Gene	Controls	oCSH deficient	P value
oIGF1, pg/pg	0.04 ± 0.01	0.01 ± 0.00	≤0.05
oIGF2, pg/pg	0.49 ± 0.08	0.14 ± 0.04	≤0.05
oIGFBP1, pg/pg	0.72 ± 0.16	0.64 ± 0.31	0.81
oIGFBP2, pg/pg	0.18 ± 0.04	0.05 ± 0.03	≤0.05
oIGFBP3, pg/pg	0.09 ± 0.011	0.02 ± 0.01	≤0.05

mRNA concentrations are means ± SE for the starting quantity of the mRNA of interest (pg) divided by the geomean of the starting quantity (pg) for the housekeeping mRNA. P ≤ 0.05 indicates a significant difference from the control.
