Mean (± SEM) plasma hormone concentrations in untreated ovine fetuses between 100 and 144d of gestation, and in glucocorticoid-treated ovine fetuses at 127–130d of gestation (n = 5–6 in each group).

* significantly different from respective saline control fetuses, P<0.05, unpaired t-test.
For the developmental study, values in each column with different superscripts are significantly different from each other (P<0.05; one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey test).

* 与各组对应的生理盐水对照胎儿存在显著差异（P<0.05，未配对t检验（unpaired t-test））。在本发育研究中，各列中标注不同上标的数值彼此间存在显著差异（P<0.05；先进行单因素方差分析（one-way ANOVA），随后进行Tukey检验（Tukey test）。
