Offspring gait analysis exhibited sex differences in relation with diet. (a) Paw width in males. (b) Paw length in males. (c) Paw area in males. (d) Stride length in males. (e) Swing time in males. n = 27 (SAL/n-3 bal male), 26 (VPA/n-3 bal male), 36 (SAL/n-3 supp male), 24 (VPA/n-3 supp male) mice. (f) Fore and Hindlimbs Base of Support in females. n = 39 (SAL/n-3 bal female), 28 (VPA/n-3 bal female), 27 (SAL/n-3 supp female), 26 (VPA/n-3 supp female) mice. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM and were analyzed through a two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey post-hoc multiple analysis. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
