Genetic profiling of developmentally-programmed hepatic steatosis by a microarray analysis; differentially expressed mRNA in UN in utero and alterations by TUDCA. A Volcano plot of 34,472 genes expressed in all three cohorts. Red and green dots were up- and down-regulated genes, respectively, in cohort 3 (Linear fold change of ≤−2 and ≥2 and ANOVA P < 0.05). Cidea and Cidec genes are encircled on the plot, and were up-regulated in UN-Veh and then down-regulated with the oral gavage of TUDCA.
