Fig. 1 Weight curve evolution during the neonatal malnutrition (21 d) and nutritional supplementation (23–90 d) in the groups (N = nourished and M = malnourished). Differences between N and M groups were considered significant at P < 0.05 and were represented by the symbol (*). Nutrition , DOI: ( /j.nut ) Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

Fig. 2 Plot of cDNA amplification curves of the iNOS (lipopolysaccharide) positive control (at the ratio of 1 fg to 1 ng). Threshold is the detection threshold. Ct, cycle threshold; iNOS, inducible nitric oxide synthase; NTC, negative control of reaction; TLR, toll-like receptor. Nutrition , DOI: ( /j.nut ) Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
