The RORA wild type (WT) or RORA null (RORA−/−) backgrounds were used to generate either control (CTL) or STZ-induced diabetic (STZ) pregnant dams, and the amygdala neurons and/or tissues from subsequent male offspring were isolated for further analysis. ad The amygdala tissues were isolated from 7- to 8-week-old male offspring for analysis. a The mRNA levels by qPCR, n = 4. b The quantitation of protein levels, n = 5. c The representative pictures for western blotting for (b). d CSF E2 levels, n = 9. e Estrogen receptor activity, n = 9. f In vivo superoxide anion release, n = 5. g, h The amygdala neurons were isolated on an embryonic day (E18) from the above treatment for immunostaining. g Quantitation of 8-oxox-dG staining, n = 5. h Representative pictures for 8-oxo-dG staining (green) and DAPI staining for nuclei (blue). ***, P < 0.0001; **, P < 0.001; *, P < 0.01; N/S, no significance. Data were expressed as mean ± SEM.
