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 5
There is a decrease in gene (a) and protein (b) expression of SP-B (as well as for SP-A and -C, data not shown) in the lung of the chronically hypoxemic, PR sheep fetus (black bars) relative to the normally grown sheep fetus (open bars). * control versus PR; # gestational age.
