Fig 3. Reduced growth in CF mice occurs prenatally in the absence of reduced IGF-1.
(A) A Mendelian distribution was observed in fetuses originating from Cftr heterozygote matings. (n>100) (B) Weight was significantly reduced in newborn CF mice and e18 fetuses compared to control littermates but the groups did not differ at e15. (C) IGF-1 levels were not significantly different between CF and control littermates perinatally (e18 and newborn) but IGF-1 levels were significantly reduced between CF and control littermates at 3 weeks of age.
