mDIO alters transcript levels of key enzymes and transcription factors that regulate fetal hepatic gluconeogenesis. (A) Relative mRNA levels of; peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma 1 alpha (Pgc1α), pyruvate carboxylase (Pc), glucose-6-phosphate (G6p), hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (Hnf4α), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (pepck) in the liver of control and high-fat exposed fetuses. (B) Relative mRNA levels of liver X receptor alpha (Nr1h3) and liver X receptor beta (Nr1h2) in the liver of control and high-fat exposed fetuses. Data are presented as box and whisker plots, min to max, where the centre line represents the median. Data were analyzed using a Student’s t-test. Control: open boxes, (n = 7) and high-fat: grey boxes, (n = 7) *p < 0.05.
