Fig 5. Expression of megalin and Lrat in kidney of neonatal rats and adult-age rats fed VAM diet and treated with or without VARA.

Relative levels of mRNA transcripts are shown for megalin (A) and Lrat (B) in kidney. under experimental conditions described in Fig 1A. Asterisks (*) denote differences between oil and VARA groups in adult kidney, P < 0.05. Data are mean ± SEM, n ≥ 7/group. Abbreviations: P, postnatal day; VARA, vitamin A combined with 10% retinoic acid.
