Table 1. Percent of nuclear vs. cytoplasmic TEF or YAP neurons.

---|---|---|---|---|
Nucleus | Cytoplasm | Nucleus | Cytoplasm | |
Chow | 42 ± 0.4% | 58 ± 0.4% | 78 ± 2.0% | 22 ± 2.0% |
HFD | 34 ± 1.1% | 66 ± 1.1% | 38 ± 2.6% | 62 ± 2.6% |
Neurons that contained either nuclear or cytoplasmic fluorescence were manually counted and calculated as a percentage of the sum of both nuclear and cytoplasmic neurons. A higher percentage of neurons that had only cytoplasmic staining for both TEF and YAP was found in neurons from HFD embryos compared to chow. Results are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 4). p < 0.05, compared with chow.
