FIGURE 5.

Effect of maternal exercise on cell proliferation in the dorsal DG of offspring. Representative images of Ki-67 positive cells in the dorsal DG from (A,C) sedentary control and (B,D) maternal exercise group at 20 × (scale bar = 100 μm) and 40 × (scale bar = 50 μm) magnification. (E) Maternal exercise significantly increases cell proliferation in dorsal DG of female offspring when compared to female sedentary control, while this effect was not observed in male offspring. *P < 0.05; n = 5–7 per group.
