Placental protein expression of the IGF axis in appropriately grown, SGA and LGA neonates. a IGF1 expression, b IGFBP1 expression, c IGFBP2 expression, d IGFBP3 expression, e IGFBP4 expression, f IGFBP7 expression, g IGFBP1 expression, h IGFBP2 expression, i IGFBP3 expression, j IGFBP4 expression. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.005, ***p < 0.0005, when compared to appropriately grown neonates. SGA small for gestational age, LGA large for gestational age. Increased protein expression of IGFBP1, IGFBP2, IGFBP3, IGFBP4 and IGFBP7 in SGAs and decreased expression of IGFBP1, IGFBP2, IGFBP3 and IGFBP4 in LGA neonates suggest inverse relationship of the binding protein expression with fetal growth
