Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors Alpha, Beta, and Gamma mRNA and Protein Expression in Human Fetal Tissues
Figure 1
Liver. (a) The expression of PPAR, and mRNA is shown across the fetal age range. Log plot of mean SEM Ct is normalized to -2-microglobulin (B2M). (b) The fetal expression of PPAR, and is shown relative to expression in adult liver. Each symbol represents the mean Ct value of 2 replicates for each fetal (open circles) and adult (filled circles) sample (overall mean for each group is shown as a horizontal line). (c) PPAR, and protein expression is shown across the fetal age range. Western blot density is normalized to glyceraldehyde-3-phophate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). Up arrowhead indicates PPAR, down arrowhead PPAR, and diamond PPAR. If only one sample was available for a particular age, then an error term could not be calculated and no SEM bar is shown. Regression analysis evaluated change with age. Dashed lines in graphs of C are the 95% confidence interval.
