Fig. 3From: Maternal exercise before and during pregnancy does not impact offspring exercise or body composition in miceFemale offspring (G2) body mass (a), percent fat mass (b), and percent lean mass (c) at 3 weeks of age. Individuals were exposed to the following maternal experimental conditions: no maternal exercise (standard mouse cage), post-weaning maternal exercise (access to a running wheel up until the time of mating), and post-weaning and gestational maternal exercise (access to a running wheel until two days prior to giving birth). General Linear Models [Univariate GLM ANOVA (SPSS, Chicago, IL)] revealed marginal effects of maternal exercise condition on body mass (F2, 42 = 3.089, p = 0.056) and percent lean mass (F2, 42 = 3.356, p = 0.044), but not on percent fat mass (F2, 42 = 2.289, p = 0.114).
