Messenger RNA levels of PAI1 and MEST in offspring subcutaneous adipose tissue. Maternal treatments: Control C Sows received 2.3 kg/day food from day 25 to 110 gestation, E sows received 4.6 kg/day food in early (days 25 to 50) gestation, M sows received 4.6 kg/day in mid gestation (days 50 to 80), EM sows received 4.6 kg/day in early and mid gestation (days 25 to 80) and L sows received 3.5 kg/day from days 80 to 110 of gestation. Data was generated from n = 18 adipose samples per treatment. At least 2 experimental repeats and 4 technical repeats were performed on each adipose sample. Relative amount of mRNA target = 2–ΔCT where ΔCT = crossing threshold of Target - crossing threshold of reference rPLPO. Different superscripts within a figure indicate significant differences between treatments, P < 0.05.
