Hepatic mRNA expression of (A) SR-B1 (B) and LCAT in various offspring.

Data represents means ± SEM (n = 6–8, specified in section 2.6). Two way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s HSD post Hoc analysis was performed to assess the effects of pre-weaning diet, post-weaning diet and of their interaction (Pre X Post) on LCAT and SR-B1 mRNA expression. Different superscripts represent significant differences of P < 0.05.

Abbreviations: P/P, offspring fed n-6 PUFA-rich diet both during pre- and post-weaning time periods. P/C,offspring fed n-6 PUFA-rich diet during pre-weaning alone; C/C, offspring fed control diet both during pre- and post-weaning time periods; C/P, offspring fed n-6 PUFA-rich diet during post-weaning alone. SR-B1, scavenger receptor-B1; LCAT, Lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase; Pre, pre-weaning; Post, post-weaning; NS, non-significant.
