The role of insulin-like growth factor I in the regulation of fetal growth was investigated in two lines of mice selected for high or low concentrations of this factor in plasma. In Expt 1, females from each line were mated with males of the reciprocal line to generate fetuses of equivalent genotype. Females with low concentration of the factor in plasma exhibited the typical negative relationship between mean...
