Figure 4. Ferroportin and ferritin placental gene expression is lower in small-for-gestational age newborns.

Figure 4.

Those infants who were small for gestational age (SGA) based on the standards from the INTERGROWTH-21st study, had lower levels of both A) ferroportin and B) ferritin gene expression in the placenta at delivery, compared to AGA babies from the same cohort. Data is log transformed, presented as ln(relative quantity of gene expression) and adjusted for maternal anemia and cord blood hepcidin in regression analysis.
