Figure 3. Greater expression of pro-asthmatic cytokines (IL-4, IL-6, IL-13, IL-17A, and TNFα) in lungs of mice with early postnatal hyperalimentation (pHA) and early-onset obesity.

Figure 3

(A,B) Total lung mRNA expression of genes encoding Il-4, Il-6, Il-13, Il-17A and Tnf-α was assessed by quantitative real-time PCR at (A) P21 (Ctrl: n = 10 from 5 litters; pHAmouse: n = 10 from 6 litters) and at (B) P70 (Ctrl: n = 9–10 from 6 litters; pHAmouse: n = 10 from 6 litters). The Ctrl was normalized to 1; early postnatal hyperalimentation (white bar; pHAmousegroup). Mean ± SEM; Mann Whitney test; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01; n.s. = not significant.
