From: Maternal Magnesium Deficiency in Mice Leads to Maternal Metabolic Dysfunction and Altered Lipid Metabolism with Fetal Growth Restriction

Figure 2

Mg deficiency reduces maternal and fetal weight gain and fetal survival. Maternal weight (wt) gain between GD1 and GD17 (A), maternal weight gain corrected for litter size (weight gain per pup) on GD17 (B) and the distribution of control and Mg-deficient E17 mouse fetal weights (expressed as a percentage of fetal pups for each weight category) are shown. The arrow indicates the 10 percentile cutoff for control fetal weight; inset shows overall mean fetal pup weight per group (C). Fetal losses (expressed as percentage of litter) determined on GD17 (D). Values are means ± SD; n = 12 (control) and n = 14 (Mg deficient) per group. *P < 0.05 versus control, **P < 0.01 versus control, ***P < 0.001 versus control.
