FIGURE 5.
A model for the differential response to toxicant exposure based on the methylation pattern for Akr1c14. The C57BL/6J (B6) mice show a loss in methylation following DFP+CORT treatment while the DBA/2J strain remains mostly unchanged. The associated decrease in the expression if Akr1c14 may result in a sustained and greater sensitivity in B6 compared to D2.
