ANOVA analysis show significant difference in Npy gene expression between the C/C offspring vs. the HF/C offspring at ZT16 (p < 0.05), vs. the C/HF offspring at ZT4 (p < 0.001), ZT8 and ZT16 (both at p < 0.01), and at ZT20 (p < 0.05, and vs. the HF/HF offspring at ZT4 (p < 0.001) and at ZT20 (p < 0.05). Here, NPY is linked to hydrops fetalis.
