Effects of treadmill exercise on mitochondrial function and morphology in Dex offspring. Dex offspring at 4-week old received 4 weeks of treadmill exercise. Then, mitochondria were isolated from hippocampus for the determination of ATP production (A), mitochondrial superoxide production (B), and membrane potential (C) as described in Section “Materials and Methods”. Mitochondrial morphology (D) was determined by transmission electron microscopy. Data are presented as means ± SEM (n = 10/group). ∗∗P < 0.01 vs. Dex. Dex, dexamethasone.
