Figure 3. Maternal chronic hypoxia increases expression of hypoxia responsive genes in the fetal lung.

Mean normalised expression (MNE) of genes with hypoxia response elements [VEGF (A), ADM (B), KDM3A (C) and SLC2A1 (D)] in the fetal lung following exposure to maternal chronic hypoxia for a month in late gestation. Data are expressed as mRNA MNE ± SD in normoxic (white bars) and hypoxic (black bars) pregnancies. ^* P < 0.05, P‐value for mean difference between groups.
