Figure 3From: Growth factor concentrations and their placental mRNA expression are modulated in gestational diabetes mellitus: possible interactions with macrosomia (a) Serum GH concentrations, and (b) expression of placental mRNA of GH and GHR in gestational diabetic mothers and their babies. Serum GH 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
