Figure 2: Effects of chronic prenatal ethanol exposure on Wnt gene expression. Pregnant dams were chronically fed with isocaloric liquid diets containing 0%, 18%, or 37% ethanol by caloric content. Cerebella harvested from perinatal (P3), juvenile (P10), and young adolescent (P20) rats were used in probe-based qPCR amplification reactions to measure (A-C) Fzd4 and (D-F) Fzd6 expression. Results were normalized to β-actin which was measured simultaneously in the duplex qPCR reactions. Inter- group comparisons were made by two-way ANOVA (Table 2) with Tukey post-hoc tests (results shown in panels). N=8-10 cerebella/group with each sample contributed from a different litter |
