During baseline conditions (i.e., before meal exposure), IT+ rats had decreased plasma levels of insulin (F1,44 = 5.737, p = 0.021, panel g, with post hoc significance in HF feeding rats), and increased plasma levels of neurotensin (NT; F1,44 = 4.651, p = 0.037, panel j) and PYY (F1,44 = 14.650, p = < 0.0001, panel m, with post hoc significance in HF and HC feeding rats). The gene discussed is NTS; the disease is hydrops fetalis.
