Total triglyceride (TG) and ceramide (Cer) contents in muscles of 6-months old lambs.

The three muscles were: biceps femoris (BF), longissimus dorsi (LD), and ventriculus sinister cordis (VSC).Data are expressed as means ± standard deviations. Unit for total TG content is mg per gram tissue (mg/g), and unit for total Cer content is nmol per gram tissue (nmol/g). Both TG and Cer contents for each of the muscles were significantly increased by the HCHF diet. NORM/CONV, NORM/HCHF, LOW/CONV, LOW/HCHF refer toexperimental treatment groups. NORM and LOW refer to the prenatal nutrition offered to the twin-pregnant dams and fulfilling 100% and 50%, respectively, of daily requirements for energy and protein. CONV and HCHF refer to a moderate or high-carbohydrate-high-fat diet, respectively, fed during the first 6 months of postnatal life.
