Biometric measurements.

Biometric measurements WT WT + PJ eNOS−/− eNOS−/− + PJ
Crown-rump length (mm) 29 (27–31) 28 (28–31) 28 (26–29) 28 (27–29)
Head circumference (mm) 29 (26–29) 27 (27–28)ϕ 28 (25–29) 26 (24–29)∗ϕ
Abdominal circumference (mm) 27 (24–29) 27 (25–27)ϕ 26 (24–28)∗∗ 25 (23–27)∗∗ϕ

Measurements of crown-rump length, head circumference and abdominal circumference median (range), N = 14–20 l, n = 56–80 fetuses. eNOS−/− fetus’ were smaller by all measures compared to WT (two-way ANOVA: p < O.05, ∗∗p < 0.01 vs. WT control). PJ supplementation significantly reduced head circumference and abdominal circumference irrespective of genotype (two-way ANOVA, ϕP < 0.05 vs. genotype matched water drinking control).
