Fig 5. Impact of maternal high-fat feeding on offspring training efficiency and fiber type composition.

Fig 5

Maternal low-fat diet (mLFD) or maternal high-fat diet (mHFD) offspring were fed a LFD after weaning throughout an age of 15 wks. Afterwards they received a HFD for 10 wks. Half of each group had access to a running wheel (RW) for voluntary training. (A) endurance capacity at wk 7, (B) training efficiency and (C/D) gene expression of myosin heave chain (Mhc) isoforms in M. quadriceps (C) and M. soleus (D). For Mhc gene expression, the Con group (mLFD-RW LFD) was set to 1. Data are mean ±SE; (A) n = 43-53; (B/C) n = 11-15; (C/D) n = 5-8. Data were compared by two-way ANOVA (Bonferroni post hoc test); # indicates significant differences between the maternal diets (mLFD and mHFD), whereas * indicates significant RW effects (-RW vs. +RW).
