Figure 4

D105 fetal collections. (a) Fetal weight at D105 of gestation. The X axis has no actual implication and is used to scatter the spots representing each fetus for ease of visualization. The sex of the fetuses and the way they were generated is shown at the bottom of the figure. The lines represent the 97 percentile of AI D105 fetal weight (i.e., male—549 g, female—463 g). (b) The pictures show D105 fetuses in the control (b1,b2) and IVP-LOS group (b3,b4). Also, females (b1,b3) and males (b2,b4). (b1) AI-546 (control female weighing 414 g which is approximate average weight of female control fetuses). (b2) AI-539 (control male weighing 496 g which is the approximate average weight of male control fetuses). (b3,b4) Show the heaviest LOS (IVP-LOS 604B: female (b3) weighing 986 g and IVP-LOS 664: male (b4) weighing 1080 g). Each square on the background = 2.54 cm. (c) Secondary phenotypes observed in D105 LOS fetuses—gelatinous material in the peritoneal cavity and organs (c1,c2) long protruding tongue (c3), skull asymmetry (c4). AI artificial insemination (i.e., control), IVP in vitro produced embryos.
