Fig. 8. Effects of maternal HFD consumption on hepatic mRNA levels of genes involved in cholesterol metabolism of male offspring.

Relative mRNA expression was analyzed by real-time PCR and normalized to RPL19 as endogenous control. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (LFD-O: n = 10, HFD-O: n = 7). ^* Significantly different from the LFD-O group (P < 0.05 by Student's t-test).
