Figure 4

Apolipoprotein C-II and lipoprotein lipase mRNA levels in perinatal mouse lungs. Expression of apoC-II (A,) and lipoprotein lipase (B, C) genes in developing lungs of male and female mouse fetuses of several litters between GD 19.5 and PN 10. (A and B): Each bar represents the value (± S.D.) obtained from technical duplicate using a pool of male or female fetuses of the indicated litter. (C): Means ± SEM of relative mRNA levels according to developmental time (day). The values were calculated from the results presented in B excluding the outlier values obtained for males of litters no. 13 and 16. The values were normalized by two housekeeping genes. For apoC-II and LPL, the mean values respectively obtained at PN 2 and PN 0 were fixed as onefold.
