Relative expression of genes involved in hepatic lipid metabolism of the progeny according maternal origin (MO) and progeny diet (PD: fed a C diet or challenged with a MA diet). Only genes where a significant effect of maternal origin are represented. Other results are presented in Additional file 3: Table S3. Different pathways of pentose phosphate (A), of β-oxidation FA (B), of biosynthesis of PUFA (C), of cholesterol synthesis (D) and of cholesterol elimination (E) are represented in different boxes. Two-way analysis of variance was carried out in order to assess effects of maternal nutritional origin and diet of progeny. Replicates correspond to liver from different individual fingerlings (n = 10 per treatment). “n.s”: not significate; “*”: P < 0.05; “**”: P < 0.01; “***”: P < 0.001. a.u = arbitrary unit. Different letters indicate significant differences between groups, which were investigated with a Tukey post hoc test
