Table 1.

Microarray data from lactating mother rats compared to non-maternal previous mothers whose pups were taken away right after delivery (pup-deprived mothers). The listed 21 genes showed highly significant (p < 0.007) difference between the two groups in our microarray study (n = 4 rat for each group)¹⁶.
