Figure 4. Nutrient‐oxygen quotients by the fetal hindlimb.

Figure 4

A, glucose, lactate and the sum of individual amino acid quotients across the hindlimb are shown for CON (white bars, n = 8) and IUGR (black bars, n = 13) fetuses. B, sum of glucose + lactate (grey portion of bar) vs. the sum of individual amino acids (grey cross‐hatched portion of bar) are reduced in the IUGR fetal hindlimb. C, sum of individual hindlimb nutrient/oxygen quotients are presented cumulatively and demonstrate that IUGR (black continuous line) is closer to 1.0 that defines zero growth compared to CON (dashed line). *P < 0.05 by Student's t test.
