Effects of maternal obesity on the hippocampal Cx43 expression in offspring: examples of Cx43-stained hippocampal section from offspring of control (A) and obese dams (B), scale bar = 500 µm; a significant higher expression of Cx43 in the hippocampus of offspring of obese dams (C); a significant positive correlations between hippocampal Cx43 density and number of astrocytic branches (D); a significant negative correlation between Cx43 density, astrocyte density and volume of hippocampus (E, F), ***p < 0.001 (n = 6/group)
