H1/H2 altered the expression of circadian-clock genes in visceral adipose tissue. The effects of prenatal dexamethasone and postnatal HF diet on the expression of the circadian-clock genes (a) Bmal-1, (b) Per1, (c) Per2, (d) Cry1, (e) Cry2, (f) CLOCK, (g) Ck1e, and (h) Rev-erbα. Results were analyzed using two-way ANOVA (prenatal dexamethasone exposure × postnatal HF diet). All values are presented as the mean ± standard error (n = 8). *P < 0.05. VEH, normal diet; DEX, prenatal dexamethasone exposure; VHF; postnatal HF diet; DHF, prenatal dexamethasone plus postnatal HF diet
