Differential expression of insulin‐like growth factor‐II in specific regions of the late (post day 9.5) murine placenta

Abstract excerpt

Insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) expression has been implicated as a major determinant of fetal size during murine pregnancy. It remains unclear whether expression in the fetus, the placenta, or both is the overriding factor controlling growth. To gain further understanding of the placental contribution, we mapped IGF-II expression in the fetal vascular and trophoblastic portions of the late murine placenta...
