From: Maternal paraben exposure triggers childhood overweight development
a Representative picture of stained slices (H&E, ×20, scale bar: 100 µm) of visceral adipose tissue and (b) the illustration of the adipocyte area from female offspring of nBuP-exposed dams (n = 10), (c) The mRNA expression levels of selected target genes investigated in adipose tissue of female offspring (n = 6), (d) Levels of adiponectin and resistin (CON: n = 18, nBuP: n = 15), leptin (CON: n = 18, nBuP: n = 7), ghrelin (n = 15) and insulin (n = 8) measured in serum of female offspring. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM, *P < 0.05, unpaired t-test. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
