N-Methyl-D-aspartate Receptor Excessive Activation Inhibited Fetal Rat Lung Development In Vivo and In Vitro

Figure 3

Effect of MK-801 on (a) fetal rat body weight, (b) fetal lung wet weight, and (c) lung-weight-to-body-weight ratio after 6 days of intrauterine hypoxia. Intrauterine hypoxia induced the decrease in body weight, lung wet weight, and lung-weight-to-body-weight ratio; MK-801 administration before hypoxia alleviated the decrease in body weight, lung wet weight, and lung-weight-to-body-weight ratio in fetal hypoxic rats. and versus air control group; versus air + MK-801 group; versus hypoxia group.
