[Retracted] Glucosamine Supplementation in Premating Drinking Water Improves Within-Litter Birth Weight Uniformity of Rats Partly through Modulating Hormone Metabolism and Genes Involved in Implantation

Figure 2

Effects of GlcN on implantation on day 6.5 of pregnancy. Distribution of implantation sites in the uterus in the control (a) and GlcN administration (b) groups. Implantation sites increased significantly in the GlcN groups compared with the control ones (c). The gene expression levels of Alk3 (d), Bmp2 (e), IGF-1 (f), Mucin-1 (g), and iNOS (h) in implantation sites were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups when P value <0.05.
