There is no significant difference between the SC offspring and the HF offspring in relation to PPARalpha expression, but both treated group presented an elevation in the expression of this TF (P = 0.001 for the SC/BZ group in comparison with the SC group and P<0.05 for the HF/BZ group in comparison with the HF group, figure 6A). This evidence concerns the gene PPARA and hydrops fetalis.
