The effects of enriched environment on the hippocampal IGF-2 and Arc protein expression in the offspring due to maternal stress of pregnancy. Differences in IGF-2 and Arc protein expression in the hippocampus were detected among four groups. The IGF-2 and Arc protein expression of PS offspring were lower than that of PC offspring; however, they were increased by EE. Data were respectively analyzed using One-way ANOVA, followed by LSD-t test to make comparison at the two different groups. Number of samples in each offspring group = 4 (50% male, 50% female) (a Electrophoresis results of IGF-2 and Arc protein expression in offspring. b IGF-2 protein expression in the hippocampus of offspring. c Arc protein expression in the hippocampus of offspring. *P < 0.05 vs. OPC. #P < 0.05 vs. OPS)
