Arterial and maternal values Control n=10, except last dose n=9; IGF-1 n=7, except last dose n=6. Coronary sinus values Control n=6, except last dose n=4; IGF-1 n=6, except last dose n=5. Not significant (NS). Arterial values analyzed by 2-way repeated measures ANOVA. Coronary sinus values analyzed by mixed-effects analysis. If justified, further analysis was by the Holm-Šidák test.
