Effects of OID consumption on paternal body weight and germline microRNA expression profile.

(a) Experimental design, (b) OID and control male mice body weight at 10 weeks of age, (c) Heatmap of miRNA expression profile in spermatozoa of OID fathers compared to controls (n = 4/group). Body weight data (n = 11/group) are mean ± s.e.m. and significant differences versus the control group assessed by t-test. P < 0.05 is considered significant; exact P values are shown in each plot. MicroRNA expression levels were assessed by TaqMan® MicroRNA Assay.
