Maf-A, Nkx6-1, Pdx-1, and C/EBP-β (a), Glut2 and GK (b) mRNA expression in the pancreas of IR and control offspring. The expression of mRNA was quantitatively analyzed by employing real-time RT-PCR as described in Section 2. AU: arbitrary units. (c) Serum and hepatic triglyceride (TG) and free fatty acids (FFA) in IR and control offspring. The lipids were determined in serum and liver as described in Section 2. Values are means SEM, per group of animals.
