Parameters were measured at the age of 6 months in the YOUNG group and at the age of 23 months in the CONT, MFGM, EX-CONT, and EX-MFGM groups. Values are shown as the mean ± SE (n = 3–5 in each group). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 vs. YOUNG group by Tukey’s test. EDL, extensor digitorum longus; Gastro, gastrocnemius; TA, tibialis anterior; YOUNG, young group; CONT, control diet group; MFGM, milk fat globule membrane diet group; EX-CONT, control diet with exercise group; EX-MFGM, milk fat globule membrane diet with exercise group.
