Figure 2

Cx36 mRNA and protein expression in islets from non-pregnant controls (CN), pregnant controls (CP), low-protein non-pregnant rats (LPNP) and low-protein pregnant rats (LPP). (A) and (B) Cx36 mRNA and protein expression in a heart sample (negative control), brain (positive control) and islets, respectively. (C) and (D) Cx36 mRNA and protein expression in islets from pregnant and non-pregnant rats fed control or low-protein diets. The Cx36 mRNA content was normalized to RPS29 mRNA. The columns represent the means ± SD of 3–5 independent experiments. Columns with different superscript minuscule letters are significantly different by two-way ANOVA followed by a least significant difference (LSD) test (P < 0.05).
