Figure 7. Long-term effects of neonatal cigarette smoke exposure on AMPK and pAMPK in the hypothalamus. AMPK (A and B) and pAMPK (C and D) protein contents in the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus at 180 postnatal days in males and females. Representative blots of proteins are shown above the graphs. GAPDH content was used as loading control. Data are reported as relative % to the control group. C: control group; SE: smoke-exposed group. Results are reported as means±SE for n=6–8. *P<0.05 (t-test).
