Antenatal Steroids and the IUGR Fetus: Are Exposure and Physiological Effects on the Lung and Cardiovascular System the Same as in Normally Grown Fetuses?
Figure 2
Placental (a) and fetal brains (b) BCRP gene expression in control (open bar, ) and maternal undernutrition (UN; filled bar, ) at 60–62 days of gestation (term, 69 days) in the guinea pig. BCRP gene expression (mean ± SEM) was quantified by real-time PCR. There was a decrease in BCRP gene expression in the UN fetal brain but not the placenta compared with controls. .
