From: Exposure of neonatal rats to maternal cafeteria feeding during suckling alters hepatic gene expression and DNA methylation in the insulin signalling pathway

mRNA expression of insulin signalling pathway-related genes in male rat liver at 3 months of age. Data are shown as mean ± SEM for 4–5 observations per group. *indicates significantly different to CC (P < 0.05), §significantly different to CO (P < 0.05), !significantly different to OC (P < 0.05). a PPARa expression was different in males and females (P = 0.019) and was influenced by exposure to cafeteria diet during lactation (P = 0.038). b PPARg expression was different in males and females (P = 0.002) and was influenced by the interaction of sex and cafeteria diet post-weaning (P = 0.050). c Glut2 expression was not influenced by sex or dietary exposures. d IrB expression was influenced by the interaction of sex, diet in lactation and diet post-weaning (P = 0.041). e Acc1 expression was not influenced by sex or dietary exposures. f Cpt1a expression was influenced by sex (P = 0.026) and the interaction of sex and post-weaning diet (P = 0.023)
