Fig. 4.

Effects of starvation and refeeding with a control diet or a diet containing NaB on Foxo3a mRNA levels and histone H3 and H4 acetylation levels around the Foxo3a gene.

A) Foxo3a mRNA levels were normalized to Tf2b mRNA abundance.

The data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by a post hoc Steel-Dwass an multiple comparison among 4 refeeding groups.

a∼b: Different letters indicate significant differences (p < 0.05).

B) The abscissa denotes the region on the Foxo3a gene relative to the transcription initiation site.

The data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by a post hoc Steel-Dwass an multiple comparison between control and NaB group.
