Fold change in mRNA expression of myelin lipid-related enzymes in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of adolescent animals treated with gestational nicotine (GN; black bars) or saline (GS; white bars). Four genes, UDP glycosyltransferase 8 (Ugt8), aspartoacylase (Aspa), farnesyl diphosphate farnesyl transferase 1 (Fdft1) and galactosylceramidase (Galc), were evaluated using quantitative real-time PCR in both males (a) and females (b). The three-way mixed-design analysis of variance with two between-subject factors (that is, sex and drug) and one within-subject factor (that is, gene) showed a significant sex effect (F1, 17=11.458, P=0.004) and an interaction of sex and drug (F1, 17=15.901; P=0.001). Data are expressed as means±s.e.m. *P<0.05, ***P<0.001 significantly different from GS (N=5 or 6).
