comparison with late gestation data showed that fractional protein synthetic rate is inversely correlated ( r = 0.87 ) to gestational age and that fetal protein synthetic rate ( prs , g/day ) is related to fetal dry weight ( dw , g ) by the allometric equation : log prs = -0.503 + 0.754 log dw the 0.754 exponent is similar to the exponent relating fetal oxygen consumption to dry weight ( 0.729 ) .
