Reproductive performance, mammary gland weight and plasma concentrations of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) were examined in 18-day-pregnant mice from lines divergently selected on the basis of plasma IGF-1 concentration. Females of the high IGF-1 (H) line were 14% heavier than those of the low IGF-1 (L) line at mating but did not differ in conception rate during a 15-day mating period. H-line females produced significantly larger litters by an average of 1.5 fetuses (19%), heavier fetuses (7%), greater total fetal weight (30%), heavier placental discs (15%), greater total placental weight (35%) and heavier mammary glands (18%). Plasma IGF-1 values were 12% greater in H-line than L-line females at Day 19 of gestation but the line difference was not significant. It is concluded that differences between the lines in litter size and mammary gland weight are most likely due to differences in maternal bodyweight (which are in turn a consequence of selection for plasma IGF-1 at puberty). Whether the difference in fetal weight is a function of fetal capacity to grow in utero or ability of the dam to provide nutrients for fetal growth is yet to be determined.
