mRNA levels for candidate genes in the placenta.

Data are fold change (95% CI) relative to the control or IUGR group expressed as a ratio to the Bestkeeper index derived from three housekeeping genes (cyclophilin A, GAPDH and RPL19) [36], [37]. First column: IUGR group compared with control; middle column: IGF1 group compared with Control; last column: IGF1 group compared with IUGR. Where 95% confidence intervals do not cross 1 the two groups are significantly different at the 5% level (shown by *, with †representing p = 0.05). Control (n = 11), IUGR (n = 9), and IGF1 (n = 7).
