Figure 3From: Factors controlling nutrient availability to the developing fetus in ruminantsSteady-state mRNA levels of the sodium coupled neutral amino acid transporter (SNATs) SL38A2 is presented. Results indicate that mRNA expression of SLC38A2 is not different from days 50 to 125 in nutrient restricted ewes (P > 0.1), however in placentomes of well-fed ewes SLC38A2 increases from days 50 to 75, decreases to day 100 and then increases to day 125 (P < 0.05).Back to article page
