Data are shown as mean ± SEM, n = 11–12 per group. The first letter indicates maternal diet, chow (C) or HFD (H); second letter indicates post-weaning diet (C or H); the third letter represents intervention; sedentary (S), exercise (X) or NMN (N). To explore the impact of post-weaning diet and intervention (exercise and NMN) on body weight and tissue phenotypes, the offspring groups HCS, HCX, HCN and HHS, HHX, HHN were analysed by a two-way mixed ANOVA presented upper section of the table. Offspring from lean mothers (CCS & CHS) are shown for comparison. Abbreviations: BW, body weight; WAT, white adipose tissue. Overall effects are presented in the bottom section of the table. The significant effects are:

XP < 0.05, XXP < 0.01, XXXP < 0.001 simple main effect of exercise.

^P < 0.05, ^^P < 0.01, ^^^P < 0.001 simple main effect of NMN.
