ESR2 and diabetes mellitus: We found that the maternal diabetes (STZ/Pre-VEH) group had mRNA expression levels of SOD2 and ERβ that decreased to 54% and 58%, respectively, compared to the control (CTL/PostVEH) group, and postnatal treatment of SOD mimetic (STZ/PostMnTBAP) had no effect, while postnatal treatment of resveratrol (STZ/PostRSV) completely restored this effect (Fig. 8A).
