Table 2.

Characterization of myelinated axons in the rostrum of the corpus callosum of P30 offspring exposed to mHFD. 10–15 images/animal, n ​= ​4 animals/group (density); n ​= ​302–436 axons/group, N ​= ​4 animals/group (g-ratio, cytosolic channels, decompacted myelin and shape descriptors). Statistical significance was determined by 2-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post-hoc analysis, where ∗ p ​< ​0.05, ∗∗∗p ​< ​0.001, ∗∗∗∗p ​< ​0.0001. ♂: male, ♀: female, a.u.: arbitrary unit, CD: control diet, mHFD: maternal high-fat diet.
