Dysfunctional fatty acid transport in pregnant preIGT mice. A Representative immunofluorescence staining for CD36 (green) in hepatocytes of mice with preexisting impaired glucose tolerance (preIGT), and NMRI mice at time points preconceptional (pc.) and day 14.5 of gestation (d14.5). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Scale bars = 25 μm. B Hepatic Cd36 gene expression of preIGT mice, mice with impaired glucose tolerance acquired during gestation (aqIGT), and NMRI mice at time points pc. (open circles) and d14.5 (solid circles). C Quantification of integrated immunofluorescence density. D Quantification of membrane located immunofluorescence (IF) of CD36 stained liver sections of preIGT and NMRI control mice at time points pc. (white bars) and d14.5 (black bars). Data are presented as means ± SEM (B n = 6, C and D n = 3–5 animals per group) in arbitrary units. *p < 0.05, **p<0.01
