Scatter plot on the influence of IUGR/ PE on transporter expression. Each point represents one nutrient transporter, whose X-axis is defined by its log (FC) expression value in the IUGR group, and the Y-axis is presented by its log (FC) expression value in PE. 0.2 was defined as error threshold. The top 3 genes dominantly influenced by the pathology of IUGR (SLC16A4, ABCA1, ABCG2) or PE (SLC23A1, SLC7A11, SLC26A2), are marked with blue and yellow squares, respectively. Red squares (SLC7A7, SLC7A8, SLC38A5) indicate the transporters that receive comparable effects from IUGR and PE. The points with cross mark depict the significantly regulated transporters by a Kruskal-Wallis test. Abbreviations: log (FC): log 2 fold change
