Maternal inappropriate calcium intake aggravates dietary-induced obesity in male offspring by affecting the differentiation potential of mesenchymal stem cells

Figure 7 Effects of maternal different dietary calcium intake on gene expressions of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells at the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway under different interventions among male offspring. A: P3 BMSCs; B and D: Adipogenic induction and self-differentiation status of BMSCs; C and E: Osteogenic induction and self-differentiation status of BMSCs. All data presented as mean ± standard error (n = 9/group). One-way analysis of variance was performed to compare the differences among the above four groups, and then Student–Newman–Keuls test was used to determine the differences between each two groups. Compared to the NC group, ^aP < 0.05. NC: Normal-calcium reproductive diet; DC: Deficient-calcium reproductive diet; LC: Low-calcium reproductive diet; HC: High-calcium reproductive diet; BMSCs: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
