Figure 5

(a) Serum FGF-2 concentrations, and (b) expression of placental mRNA of FGF-2 and FGF-2R in gestational diabetic mothers and their babies. Serum FGF-2 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.
