Figure 5. Iron supplementation prevented increased NAcc TH levels induced by prenatal TURP treatment.

Figure 5

(A) Basal TH levels in the NAcc were measured by western blotting from adult animals' protein extracts. These were significantly greater in the offspring of TURP-treated dams, which was prevented by maternal iron supplementation. SAL-VEH n = 5, TURP-VEH n = 7, SAL-IRON n = 5 and TURP-IRON n = 6. p<0.05 * vs. SAL-VEH, & vs. TURP-VEH. (B and C) TH protein levels from dSTR (B) and mPFC (C) were not significantly affected by any prenatal treatment.
