FIG. 7.
The effect of growth restriction (IUGR) on glucose production in isolated primary fetal hepatocytes. Hepatocytes were isolated from CON and IUGR fetal livers. Glucose production was measured after 24 h of treatment with 500 nmol/L dexamethasone (DEX), 100 μmol/L cAMP, or 100 nmol/L insulin, as indicated. Results are expressed as glucose produced (μg) per amount of protein per well (μg). Means ± SE are shown (CON cell isolations, n = 4; IUGR cell isolations, n = 4). Significant effects from two-way ANOVA are indicated. *P < 0.05 compared with all other group × treatment (I × T) comparisons.
