HW/BW ratios and LVW/BW ratios of rat male offspring at 3 months of age (a) and 5 months of age (b). All data are expressed as mean ± SEM, . HW, heart weight; BW, body weight; LVW, left ventricle weight. G3–21, maternal hypoxia group from day 3 to day 21 of pregnancy; G9–21, maternal hypoxia group from day 9 to day 21 of pregnancy; G15–21, maternal hypoxia group from day 15 to day 21 of pregnancy; G0, control group. * compared to control group, # compared to G15–21.
