Relative mRNA expression of system A amino acid transporters in placenta of control and TP dams. TP was administered prenatally (0.5 mg/kg; gestational days 15-19) and (A) slc38a1/Snat1, (B) slc38a2/Snat2 and (C) slc38a4/Snat4 mRNA expression was assessed by real-time RT-PCR in the placenta obtained from control (n = 6) and TP (n = 6) dams on GD 21. The mean mRNA expression of the control group was assigned a value of 1 and the mean of the TP group was calculated relative to the control group. Values are given as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05 versus control.
