Morphometric cardiac measurements in fetuses from Control and LGUN groups

	Control (n = 6)	LGUN (n = 8)
Body weight (kg)	4.85 ± 0.21	4.37 ± 0.19
Heart weight (g kg−1)	29.83 ± 1.67	27.86 ± 1.10
Heart weight: body weight (g kg−1)	6.35 ± 0.16	6.15 ± 0.24
Left ventricle weight (mg)	15.71 ± 0.65	14.65 ± 0.67
Left ventricle: heart weight (mg g−1)	0.53 ± 0.02	0.53 ± 0.01
Right ventricle weight (mg)	7.85 ± 0.73	7.70 ± 0.49
Right ventricle: heart weight (mg g−1)	0.26 ± 0.01	0.23 ± 0.01

Values are mean ± SEM. P < 0.05 was considered significant. Data were analysed by an unpaired t test.
