Transcriptional response of skeletal muscle to a low-protein perinatal diet in rat offspring at different ages: the role of key enzymes of glucose-fatty acid oxidation

This study evaluated gene and protein expression of key-enzymes of glycolytic pathway (HK2, PFK, PDK4 and CS), and fatty acid oxidation (CPT1 and β-HAD) of two different types of skeletal muscle (soleus and extensor digitorium longus (EDL) from offspring rats at 30 and 90 days of age, exposed to maternal isoenergetic low-protein diet throughout gestation and lactation.
