The effects of corticosterone exposure (black bars) on (A) O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine transferase (OGT) relative protein expression and (B) levels of O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification on cellular proteins in whole placentae of both male and female C57/BL6 fetuses at E14.5 compared with untreated controls (white bars). (C) shows glutamine-fructose-6-phosphate-transaminase 1 (GFPT1) relative mRNA and (D) GFPT1 protein expression in the same tissues. Data represents mean +SEM, *P < 0.05, ****P < 0.0001 for post hoc analysis or t-test results. Real-time quantitative PCR used to determine gene expression, and normalised to the average of two housekeeping genes. RNA data were analysed using a two-way ANOVA comparing the factors treatment and sex with Bonferroni’s post hoc testing presented on graph (n = 9–11). Protein expression was examined by western immunoblot with β-Actin (ACTB) as loading control, normalised to untreated control of the same sex. Protein expression was analysed using a two-tailed t-test with untreated controls of the same sex (n = 6).
