Figure 5

Mean ± SEM mRNA expression of (A) heart carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1b (Cpt1b) (light grey bar) and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (Cpt2) (black bar), and (B) hepatic trimethyllysine hydroxylase (Tmlh) in rat pups 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 (mRNA expression levels) or same symbol (activity levels) indicate no significant difference, P < 0.05.
