Fig. 9From: Lactation undernutrition leads to multigenerational molecular programming of hypothalamic gene networks controlling reproductionMolecular changes in the hypothalami of 21-day old male F2 progeny. a Expression pattern of Kisspeptin-signaling related genes. Genes showing increased b and decreased c expression in the hypothalami of F1 undernourished neonates were tested in F2 males. Expression levels are presented relative to Ppib expression (arbitrary units (AU)). Means with different superscripts differ significantly (statistical significance was calculated by One-way ANOVA; n = 12/breeding protocol (CxC, CxL, LxC, LxL)). C – CON (F1 control progeny), L – LUN (F1 progeny undernourished during lactation)Back to article page
