From: Maternal Magnesium Deficiency in Mice Leads to Maternal Metabolic Dysfunction and Altered Lipid Metabolism with Fetal Growth Restriction

Figure 6

Mg deficiency during pregnancy affects the expression of regulators of fatty acid synthesis. Srebf1 (A) and Chrebp (B) mRNA expression in maternal livers is shown. Representative Western blots are shown for maternal liver SREBP-1 proteins (precursor, 125-kDa (p125) and mature, 68-kDa (p68) forms) (B) and ChREBP protein (C), with quantitation of band densities of SREBP-1 p125, SREBP-1 p68 and ChREBP corrected for GAPDH below. Srebf1 (D) and Chrebp (E) mRNA expression in fetal livers. Values are means ± SD; n = 5–7 samples per treatment. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 versus control.
