From: Maternal creatine homeostasis is altered during gestation in the spiny mouse: is this a metabolic adaptation to pregnancy?

Figure 3

Maternal Creatine Transporter Expression. Creatine transporter 1 (CrT1) mRNA expression was reduced in the liver (A) and brain (B) of pregnant spiny mice at term. An increase in CrT1 mRNA expression, relative to non-pregnant controls, was observed in the heart (C) and gastrocnemius muscle (D) of term pregnant spiny mice. Data are expressed relative to the house keeping gene/protein. Values are means ± SEM; n = 6-8/group. Statistical analysis Students t-Test. Significance P ≤ 0.05; *P <0.01.
