mRNA expression levels of Leptin in WAT in 25 d and 6 m old animals.

<p>mRNA expression levels of Leptin in inguinal and retroperitoneal white adipose tissue depots (iWAT and rpWAT respectively), in 25 d and 6 m old male and female offspring of controls (C) and 20% caloric restricted dams during gestation (CR). mRNA expression levels in male and female controls are set to 100% and values of CR animals expressed relative to their controls. Each group is made up of animals from at least four different litters. Data are mean ± s.e.m.</p><p>*Different from their respective C group (p<0.05; Student's t -test).
