Relative mRNA levels of proteins associated with nutrient uptake in placentas of dams fed high- or low-fat diets. Dams are the same as those described in Fig. 6. A: relative amounts of mRNA of genes of interest compared with cyclophilin are presented. Data are presented as means ± SE (n = 3–5 litters). *Significant differences (P < 0.05) between placentas of dams fed different amounts of dietary fat. B: relative amounts of GLUT1 in microvillous membranes of placentas of dams fed high- or low-fat diets was measured by Western blotting, using β-actin as a marker for loading.
