The Influence of Hypoxia during Different Pregnancy Stages on Cardiac Collagen Accumulation in the Adult Offspring
Figure 3
Representative immunoblots of collagen I and collagen III in the left ventricle of male offspring from the four experimental groups at 3 months (a) and 5 months (b) of age. Quantification of collagen I and collagen III is depicted for offspring at 3 (c) and 5 months of age (d). All data are expressed as mean ± SEM, . G3–21, maternal hypoxia group from days 3 to 21 of pregnancy; G9–21, maternal hypoxia group from days 9 to 21 of pregnancy; G15–21, maternal hypoxia group from days 15 to 21 of pregnancy; G0, control group. * compared to control group and # compared to the G15–21 group.
