Comparison of liver protein expression in the offspring according to maternal diet [59]. The ratio of betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase 1 (BHMT1), methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 1 (MTHFD1), and ATP synthase subunit beta, mitochondrial (ATP5B) density in the livers of male (A) and female (B) offspring. The number of samples (S) signify the protein density of the offspring in each group. The levels of expression of BHMT1, MTHFD1, and ATP5B were significantly reduced in the livers of the food-restricted (FR)/ad libitum (AdLib) male offspring (P<0.05, C) compared with those of the control group. The levels of BHMT1, MTHFD1, and ATP5B in the livers of female offspring did not differ among groups (D). Data are expressed as mean±standard deviation. ^a)P<0.05 compared with AdLib/AdLib; ^b),c)Significant difference of the protein expressions between sampe protein (P<0.05).
