Alterations of Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide and Expression of Genes Involved in Mammary Gland and Adipose Tissue Lipid Metabolism during Pregnancy and Lactation
Figure 8
Effects of late foetal and neonatal life on (a) body and (b) intestinal weight, plasma (c) glucose, (d) insulin and (e) GIP, (f) total extractable intestinal GIP and (g) intestinal GIP content per g wet weight in Wistar rats.
(a–d) Parameters were measured at various time points on days 10–21 of intrauterine life, 21 days during suckling and 21 days following weaning. (e–g) Parameters were measured at various time points on days 17–21 of intrauterine life, 21 days during suckling and 21 days following weaning. The day of birth is indicated by time zero. Values are means ± SEM for 5–6 rats.
