The fetal body weight, placental weight, the membrane weight, and the crown-rump length.

Groups	Fetal body weight (mg)	Placental weight (mg)	Membrane weight (mg)	Crown-rump length (CRL) (mm)
Vehicle-treated control (V-TC) ()
LA-treated control (LA-TC) ()
Vehicle-treated diabetic (V-TD) ()
LA-treated diabetic (LA-TD) ()

lower () than those from both groups of control and LA-TD rats.
higher () than those from V-TC rats.
higher () than those from both groups of diabetic rats.
The difference in the mean values of the two groups is statistically significant difference using Shapiro-Wilk, Kruskal-Wallis, and Tukey test one way analysis of variance. The data represent mean SEM.
