Figure 2: Relative expression of retinal genes in adult WNIN rats fed varying dietary fatty acids at pre and postnatal stages. The relative mRNA abundance was normalized to Hgprt and presented in arbitrary units. Panel A: Cone-rod homeobox gene (Crx) & phosphodiesterase 6B (Pde6B); Panel B: Elongases (Elovl4 &, Elovl2); Panel C: ?5- & ?6- desaturases. The values are presented as mean ± SE of six independent observations. Different superscripts on the bars indicate values are statistically significantly different from other groups (p< 0.05). sLA-LA, LA-ALA, LA-FO, ALA-ALA and FO-FO.
