Figure 4

RT-PCR validation of DEGs in the MPOA of pup-deprived and lactating mothers (n = 11 for both groups). (AC): mRNA levels of genes with higher expression in lactating mothers according to the RNA-Seq. Data, shown as ratio of GAPDH mRNA levels (mean ± SEM). Ndufs5 and Nwd1 mRNA levels were significantly higher in lactating mothers (** = p < 0.01, * = p < 0.05). Expression of Ecm2 did not differ significantly. (DF): mRNA levels of genes with higher expression in pup-deprived mothers according to the RNA-Seq. Data, shown as ratio of GAPDH mRNA levels (mean ± SEM). Rbm3 mRNA level was significantly higher in pup-deprived mothers (* = p < 0.05). Mepce and Gpr34 expression did not differ significantly.
