The influence of maternal diet during gestation on myofibre development in 7-day old offspring. (A) Quantitative analysis of myofibre cross sectional areas (CSA) in the biceps femoris in control (white; n = 7) and high fat (black; n = 7) piglets. Bar graphs illustrate means ± SEM (# p < 0.05). Histological images of the biceps femoris fibres generated by hematoxylin and eosin (B: control group; C: HF group, scale bar = 50 μm). (D) The relationship between mean CSA and body weight at 7 days of age in control (white; n = 7) and high fat (black; n = 7) offspring.
