Figure 2From: Growth factor concentrations and their placental mRNA expression are modulated in gestational diabetes mellitus: possible interactions with macrosomia (a) Serum IGF-BP3 concentrations and (b) expression of placental IGF-BP3 mRNA in gestational diabetic mothers and their babies. Serum IGF-BP3 concentrations and mRNA expression by RT-PCR were assessed as described in the section of the methods. Values are means ± SD. n = 60 control mothers and babies; n = 60 gestational diabetic mothers and macrosomic babies.Back to article page
