Relative gene expression in the MS rats. The two way ANOVA type III sum of squares test revealed a main effect of ELS on (A) Pomc in the hypothalamus (F = 5.806; p = 0.020; Adj. R2 = 0.060) and (B) Dnmt1 in the pituitary (F = 10.316; p = 0.002; Adj. R2 = 0.175). A main effect of ethanol (E) was found on (C) Crh in the hypothalamus (F = 4.092; p = 0.049; Adj. R2 = 0.026), and (D) Fkbp5 in the pituitary (F = 4.495; p = 0.039; Adj. R2 = 0.039). Crh, Corticotropin releasing hormone; Dnmt1, DNA methyltransferase (cytosine-5) 1; E, ethanol; ELS, early life stress; Fkbp5, FK506 binding protein 5; MS, maternal separation for 15/360 min; Pomc, proopiomelanocortin.
