BW, PW, placental efficiency (BW/PW ratio), CRL, HD, BMI, and HD/BW ratio from male fetuses only from N, H, HM, and NM pregnancy at day 20 of gestation. Values are means ± SEM.
BMI, body mass index; BW, body weight; CRL, crown-rump length; H, hypoxic; HD, head diameter; HM, hypoxic + MitoQ; N, normoxic; NM, normoxic + MitoQ; PW, placental weight.

Significant main effect of hypoxia on placental weight (P < 0.05, mixed linear model test). Number of fetuses for BW: N = 74; H = 86; HM = 84; and NM = 65. Number of fetuses for remaining variables: N = 59; H = 59; HM = 62; and NM = 54.
