Effects of Maternal Hypoxia during Pregnancy on Bone Development in Offspring: A Guinea Pig Model

Figure 4

Effects of MH on tibial trabecular bone volume as measured by histomorphometry (BV/TV, %). (a) BV/TV of fetal bones from control and hypoxia-treated mothers. (b) Relative BV/TV (adjusted for total body weight) in fetal guinea pigs (%/g). (c) BV/TV of bones of 120d postnatal guinea pigs from control and hypoxia-treated mothers. (d) Relative BV/TV in postnatal guinea pigs (adjusted for total body weight, %/g). (𝑛=5,^∗𝑃<0.05 when compared to control).
