The effects of pre-weaning (gestation and lactation) or post-weaning diets (Diet A or Diet B) on blood and tissue gene expression levels (relative fluorescence units) in the domestic kitten (Felis catus).

Diet A-Diet A (A-A) n = 3 females, n = 2 males.Diet A- Diet B (A-B) n = 3 females, n = 2 males.Diet B- Diet A (B-A) n = 3 females, n = 2 males.Diet B- Diet B (B-B) n = 4 females, n = 1 male.1Fatty acid synthase (FASN), Glucose transporter 1 (Glut1) and 4 (Glut4), insulin receptor (INSR), insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) and 2 (IRS2), Leptin (LEPT), Hormone sensitive lipase (LIPE), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAL1), Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2), peroxisome proliferative activated receptor-γ (PPARG).2Comparisons between Diets A-A and A-B vs B-A and B-B.3Comparison between Diets A-A and B-A and B-B and A-B.4n = 5 per treatment.5.n = 4 per treatment.6Ovarian or testicular tissue.Results are presented as means ± SEM. P indicates ANOVA significance of rank transformed data and FDR indicates multiple testing adjusted P value. No effect of gender was observed.
