In female offspring in response to simultaneous CORT + LPS challenge, both diet groups showed increased levels of NFκB (main effect of challenge (F(3,20) = 6.85, p < 0.01), Fig. 9c) and IκBα (F(3,20) = 28.95, p < 0.01, Fig. 9d), while IL6 increased in HFD offspring (main effect of challenge (F(3,20 = 4.347, p < 0.05), Scheffe post hoc p = 0.040), but did not change in CHD offspring (Scheffe post hoc p = 0.784, Fig. 9e). This evidence concerns the gene NFKB1 and coronary artery disorder.
