Fig. 5. Administration of KAT II inhibitor at beginning of light phase reduces activity and temperature in ECon and EKyn offspring who exhibit sex differences in locomotor activity.

Fig. 5

Male and female offspring were tested in the open field test during the light or dark phase: A distance traveled, B velocity, C percent of time spent in center, D percent of time spent in corners. Adult ECon and EKyn offspring were treated with vehicle or PF-04859989 (30 mg/kg) at Zeitgeber time (ZT) 0. E 1-h bins of relative cage activity, sexes combined (three-way ANOVA: treatment × ZT interaction F(23, 487) = 1.825, P < 0.05). F 6-h bins of relative cage activity in ECon, sexes combined (treatment × ZT interaction F(3, 39) = 5.621, P < 0.01). G 6-h bins of relative cage activity in EKyn, sexes combined (treatment × ZT interaction F(3, 43) = 3.175, P < 0.05). H 1-h bins of core body temperature, sexes combined (three-way ANOVA: treatment effect F(1, 29) = 9.403, P < 0.01, treatment × ZT interaction F(23, 480) = 2.978, P < 0.0001). I 6-h bins of core body temperature in ECon, sexes combined (treatment effect F(1, 14) = 7.810, P < 0.05). J 6-h bins of core body temperature in EKyn, sexes combined (treatment effect F(1, 15) = 7.507, P < 0.05, treatment × ZT interaction F(3, 43) = 6.280, P < 0.01). Data are mean ± SEM. Percent change from vehicle treatment calculations are shown by arrows. Three-way ANOVA: #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, ####P < 0.0001. Two-way RM ANOVA: ^P < 0.05, ^^P < 0.01 with Fisher’s LSD post hoc test: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001. N = 11–16 per group.
