Maternal exercise reduces insulin-stimulated skeletal muscle glucose clearance in male offspring. A–D: Male offspring from sedentary or trained dams fed a chow or high-fat diet were fasted overnight, anesthetized, and [³H]2-deoxyglucose per gram body weight was administered via retro-orbital injection in the presence of saline (basal) or 1 mg/kg bw glucose (glucose). Glucose clearance was measured in tibialis anterior (A), soleus (B), gastrocnemius (C), and EDL (D). Data are means ± SEM (n = 3–5/group).
