Figure 4. SF-1, StAR, MC2-R, CYP11A1 and CYP17 mRNA expression in adrenal gland of male offspring whose mothers were exposed to stress at PS50 and PS60 (as described in Fig. 1), or left undisturbed throughout pregnancy (control).

Figure 4

A, representative in situ hybridization images of melanocortin 2 receptor (MC2-R) mRNA expression in the adrenal. Relative optical density (ROD) of steroidogenic factor (SF)-1 mRNA (B), steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) mRNA (C), MC2-R mRNA (D), CYP11A1 mRNA (E) and CYP17 mRNA (F). Animal numbers are indicated within bars. **P < 0.01, compared to control.
