Fig. 6.

Effect of maternal nutrient restriction on expression of glucocorticoid receptor (GCR) mRNA (A) and GCR protein (B). Bar graphs illustrate means with their standard errors. Pregnant rats were fed either ad libitum [control, closed bars (n = 6)] or 50% of this amount [NR, open bars (n = 8)]. Significant differences between control and nutrient restricted groups: *P < 0.05; and significant differences between ages in the same nutritional group of animals indicated by different superscripts: P < 0.05 (control: bold lowercase letters; NR: capital letters).
