Mean ± SEM organic cation/carnitine transporter (Octn) mRNA expression (Octn1 – white bar; Octn2 – light grey bar; Octn3 – dark grey bar) in rat (A) heart, (B) kidney, and (C) intestine at postnatal day 4, 8, 11, and 20 (n = 6). mRNA expression was normalized to β-actin and fold difference (FD) was determined by using 2^-ΔΔCT method. One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test was used for the comparisons between ages and bars with the same letters indicate no significant difference, P < 0.05.
