Fig. 6From: Long-term effect of early postnatal overnutrition on insulin resistance and serum fatty acid profiles in male ratsmRNA expression of key insulin signaling components in epididymal fat at 16 weeks. mRNA level of Irs-1, Akt2 and Glut4 were assessed by quantitative PCR in the epididymal fat of rats from normal litter (NL, open bar) and small litter (SL, closed bar). Results are expressed as mean ± S.E.M (n = 6, 4 litters from each group). * P < 0.05Back to article page
