We examined cardiac hypertrophy-related genes and found that the mRNA levels of BNP (Natriuretic Peptide B), Myh7 (Myosin Heavy Chain 7), and Gata4 (GATA Binding Protein 4) were significantly up-regulated in maternal DHT-treated group (Fig. 4d–h). The gene discussed is NPPB; the disease is cardiac hypertrophy.
