Compared with the control, the protein level of placental p-JNK in the male neonates was significantly increased, while the mRNA expression level of YB-1 in both female and male neonates, as well as P300 in the male neonates, were significantly decreased in the IUGR group (P<0.05, P<0.01, Fig. 7A–C). Here, EP300 is linked to fetal growth restriction.
