Differences in protein carbonyls (nmol/mg proteins) (top) and nitric oxide (NO, mmol/L) (bottom) between inbred (gray boxes) and outbred (white boxes) females canaries depended on prenatal and postnatal early life conditions. These early life conditions consisted of four experimental treatments: size advantaged/early laid eggs (= matched conditions; inbred females: N = 10, outbred females: N = 9), size advantaged/late laid eggs (= mismatched conditions; inbred females: N = 8, outbred females: N = 9), size disadvantaged/late laid eggs (= matched conditions; inbred females: N = 8, outbred females: N = 15), size disadvantaged/early laid eggs (= mismatched conditions; inbred females: N = 7, outbred females: N = 4).
