Fig. 9From: Differences in lipid metabolism in acquired versus preexisting glucose intolerance during gestation: role of free fatty acids and sphingosine-1-phosphateLess hepatic PPARα expression in preIGT mice. A Representative immunofluorescence staining for PPARα (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 Pparα 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). Data are presented as means ± SEM (B n = 3–6 animals per group) in arbitrary units. *p< 0.05Back to article page
