Placental (a) and fetal brain (b) P-gp protein expression in control (open bar, ) and maternal undernutrition (UN; filled bar, ) at 60–62 days of gestation (term, 69 days) in the guinea pig. P-gp expression (mean ± SEM) was quantified by Western blotting with monoclonal C219 antibody. There was less P-gp protein in the UN placenta and fetal brain than in controls. * .
